Setting up

This section describes how to set up Eclipse and Odysseus for development.

...

There are different ways to create new functionality with Odysseus. The first way should be used if you want to add something new to Odysseus (e.g. a new wrapper) but do not want to change the common code base. This should be the preferred way of development with Odysseus:

Option 1

: Extending Odysseus with New Plugins

Odysseus has a very large code base. To allow a lightweight start, we provide a template project in our Bitbucket server. You should clone or fork this project and use it to add new plugins to this template. The template can be found here: https://git.swl.informatik.uni-oldenburg.de/projects/ODY/repos/odysseusrepotemplate/browse . When using git you should use the following command to clone Odysseus. The template contains some standard products and the target platform as a submodule. The "--recurse-submodules" flag clones this submodule when cloning the repository. Alternatively, you can clone the submodule individually.

git clone --recurse-submodules https://git.swl.informatik.uni-oldenburg.de/scm/ody/odysseusrepotemplate.git
cd odysseus_dev
git checkout master

Remark: because you are not allowed to push updates to the template repository you should change your repository URL to your git location and rename your folder to your new repository name.

...

git clone --recurse-submodules <your repo URL>
cd odysseus_dev
git checkout master

Remark: There could be some updates in odysseus_dev that is not already reflected in each module. So it is always a good idea to update the odysseus_dev submodule to the newest version.

3. Setup Eclipse

After Eclipse started, you have to import all bundles (these are the parts of Odysseus and are equal to an Eclipse project). Use "File -> Import -> Existing Projects into Workspace" to import them into Eclipse as follows:

...
