Creating the Project from CVS

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

Note: To use an developer account with write access, you need to select extssh instead of pserver and enter your Sourceforge username.

At this point, you will be downloading files from CVS.

Configuring the project

Once code has been downloaded, you must create your classpath. Right click on project directory and select Properties.

This step sets up the proper text encoding.

Then click on Java Build Path. Remove any directories that show up in the Source tab.

Then click Add Folder.

Select src and tests directories and click OK.

Next click Add JARs button.

Click open the directories and select all the files within the libs directory and click OK.

At this point, you have finished setting up your classpath, so click OK.

GenerateINI

Note: The following images show the configuration of a MySQL connection. But in most cases you don't need a database server and can use H2 instead. Just hit enter two times.

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.

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.

Map Editor

Now we will set up map editor to run from within Eclipse. Click the black arrow beside green bug and follow through. http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/8991/vissetup23bv0.png

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