HOW TO START MARY FROM ECLIPSE

Initial Setup:

• Install JDK from ​http://java.sun.com/

• Install Eclipse Classic from ​http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

• Install a Subversion client from ​http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html. Under Windows (32-bit), this step may be omitted (see below).

• Install the Subversive Eclipse plugin as detailed here: ​http://www.polarion.com/products/svn/subversive/download.php?src=eclipse

How to import Mary into Eclipse

When ready with all setups installed on your system,

• Open Eclipse

• Then click on File > Import

• Under SVN select Project from SVN and click Next

• If you are running the Subversive plugin for the first time, you will be prompted to install a SVN Connector. Choose the SVN Kit that matches the version of Subversion installed on your system. Follow the dialogs to install both the Subversive SVN Connector and the SVNKit. Although you are still in the middle of going through the SVN import, you may be prompted to restart Eclipse. If you do so, repeat the previous two steps. (Note: under Windows (32-bit), you may also install the JavaHL binaries instead of the SVNKit.)

• Create new repository location so that you can checkout a project from SVN repository.

• Click Next and enter https://mary.opendfki.de/repos/ in the URL field of the General tab, then click Next

• Now to select a resource, which will be checked out on a project, type https://mary.opendfki.de/repos/trunk under URL tab or Browse to trunk and then click Finish.

• Check out the project as OpenMary and use the default workspace location.

• By this time you should be able to see OpenMary in Eclipse
