| Create Eclipse Plugin Projects |
| ------------------------------ |
| |
| * Since the source for the tools has a dependency on the eclipse classes. one has to run the |
| ant build file (build.xml) to generate a relevant eclipse project from the source. |
| |
| * In order to compile the plugin first you must do a maven create-lib on Axis2 Source and |
| set ECLIPSE_HOME environment variable to point to your eclipse home directory. |
| |
| * use the ant generate-projects command to generate the plugin projects. |
| |
| * Once the projects are generated in each eclipse plugin directory under tools directory |
| (axis2-eclipse-service-plugin and axis2-eclipse-codegen-plugin) they can be opened as a Eclipse PDE |
| for building and editing. |
| |
| * This can be done by File -> Import -> Existing project into workspace on Elcipse menu and |
| point that to the any of eclipse plugin directory under tools directory. |
| |
