Setting up developer environment

Eclipse set up

The PLM is written in several programming language, so you need to install all the java, python and scala nature in eclipse to get it working. The scala nature (that you can get from the Scala plugin for eclipse) is very important as it is used to compile most of the project. There is no need to install the C nature as eclipse never gets to compile these files (the PLM does it itself on need).

To test your code from eclipse, simply launch the classes containing a main as Java application.

The distributed archives are generated from the ant file (build.xml). It used to work from eclipse too, but not anymore. If you know how to fix it, we'd love to hear from you.
