FlasH's eclipse setup

Setting up the installer

• In case you're on Windows: just download the installer from here (/eclipse-inst-64.exe) and run it.
• In case you're on a different platform:
  1. Download eclipse installer and unpack it.
  2. Edit eclipse-inst.ini in the unpacked root adding the following line to the very end: -Doomph.redirection.setups=index:/->https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FlasH-RUS/oomph/master/setups/

Installing

1. Once the installer has opened, switch to advanced mode (3-striped button at the top right corner, then "ADVANCED MODE...")
2. Follow the wizard steps, etc. :)
3. After installation you may still need to do several manual steps like:
   • Switch perspective to "Dev" (which is anyway set to default already).
   • Switch keyboard layout to IntelliJ (Preferences -> General -> Keys) even if you've selected it during setup.

What's included

1. Eclipse Oxygen/Photon/2018-09/2018-12/2019-03/2019-06/2019-09 for Java EE developers with the following plugins excluded:
   • CloudFoundry support (CFT)
   • Plug-in Development Environment (PDE)
2. Lombok support (asks for lombok.jar during setup anyway)
3. AutoDriv
4. DevStyle
5. Spring Tools Suite
6. Optionally - IDEA keymap

Testing

Edit eclipse-inst.ini in the installer root directory to use local folder with files to update. E.g. -Doomph.redirection.setups=index:/->file:/home/flash/git/oomph/setups/

Dev notes

• Perspective customization:
  1. Customize your perspective.
  2. Export Eclipse preferences to epf file: File -> Export -> Preferences.
  3. Open epf file and find the perspective key: /instance/org.eclipse.ui.workbench/<perspective name>_1_e4persp.
  4. Convert key value to plain XML:
     • Unescape. E.g. using https://www.freeformatter.com/java-dotnet-escape.html
  5. Save the same key with plan XML as value in Oomph setup.
