Installation
ORBStudio depends on Java 5 syntax so please make sure that your eclipse does run on Java 5.
- Extract the distribution package.
- Find ORBStudio_7.7.7.jar in the plugins directory in the extracted directory.
- Shutdown Eclipse.
- Put it into your Eclipse plugin directory.
- Re-boot Eclipse.
Building the plugin from source tree.
- Import the ORBStudio source code into Eclipse from the files that are created after extracting the distribution package.
Navigate to File/Import/Genreral/Existing Projects into Workspace. Enable Select root directory and choose the folder that you extracted the package by Browser dialog. (Please don't import those from the jar file, it does not include complete stuff.)
- Choose Java 5 compiler. Some part of the plugin was implemented with Java 5 syntax.
- That't it!
If you would like to build up the IDL parser, you have to modify IDLParser.jj and re-generate all parer codes by JavaCC[tm] toolkit that is available from https://javacc.dev.java.net/. You can take advantage of javacc_gen.bat command in the package. Because those generated by JavaCC 4.0 are already involved in the source tree so basically you don't need to do that.
IDLParser.jj supporting OMG 2.X syntax was from the idldepend package wirtten by Luismi Pena. Thanks!
