Getting started with Vorto

Great, that you are interested in the Eclipse Vorto project!

Automated Setup

Start developing Vorto in a couple of minutes by downloading the Vorto Developer IDE

Manual Setup

Users with an existing Eclipse IDE, follow these steps:

Prerequisites

• Java 8
• Eclipse Luna SR2 (4.4.2)
• Xtext 2.7.x or above
• Xtext Antlr 2.1.x or above
• Apache Maven 3 (only needed if you would like to build from the command line)

Steps:

1. git clone https://github.com/eclipse/vorto.git
2. Import the project into eclipse
3. Generate Xtext Artifacts for all editors files ( Right click -> Run As - Generate Xtext Artifacts), such as
   1. org.eclipse.vorto.editor.datatype/src/org/eclipse/vorto/editor/datatype/Datatype.xtext
   2. org.eclipse.vorto.editor.functionblock/src/org/eclipse/vorto/editor/functionblock/Functionblock.xtext
   3. org.eclipse.vorto.editor.infomodel/src/org/eclipse/vorto/editor/infomodel/InformationModel.xtext
   4. org.eclipse.vorto.editor.mapping/src/org/eclipse/vorto/editor/mapping/Mapping.xtext
4. With no compile errors, right click on any plugin Run As - > Eclipse Application would launch new Eclipse application. Add the following VM arguments to your eclipse run configuration "-Xms40m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m"

Troubleshooting:

1. If compile errors exists, check vorto.target is checked as active the target platform (Windows -> Preferences - > Plugin Development -> Target Platform - > target definitions - vorto.target)
2. If network error, check for proxy settings. (Preferences - > General -> Network Connections)
