Visual Setup for Stendhal in Eclipse

This setup is done on Windows XP Professional - no guarantees for any other system. Also, it is assumed this will be the first attempt at setting up Stendhal in your Eclipse environment.

First of all, from the view Package Explorer in Eclipse...

At this point, you will be downloading files from CVS. Once code has been downloaded, you must create your classpath. Right click on project directory and select Properties.

Remove any directories that show up in the Source tab.

This tutorial does NOT cover installation of MySQL database. It is assumed that if you are going to install server from within Eclipse, you will install MySQL and set up the required database. If you are going to run the server from within Eclipse, you will need to create the server.ini file. These are the steps needed for that:

Once you have located GenerateINI.java, double click it to open in code window.

Then click Run => Run.

Depending on whether there are errors, the following might display. If you know they do not affect what you are running, ie: if errors are in tests directory, click Proceed. If the errors do affect you, then you will have to fix them. This tutorial will NOT try to cover that.

At this point you have to enter the appropriate data to attach to your running database. Your responses are shown below in green.

Once you hit enter on the password, it will ask you to specify RSA key. Take default (press enter). Give it a couple minutes, and your server.ini is done.

Now we will set up map editor to run from within Eclipse. Click the black arrow beside green bug and follow through.

At this point, map editor (tiled) should start.
