Syncope-809 GSoC Project (Eclipse Plugin for Apache Syncope deployment : Allows user to view and edit Mail Templates and Report Templates from Eclipse itself)
This project includes an Eclipse Project that works only in a Plugin Development Environment actiated eclipse installation. This means that if you already have a previous version of eclipse or one that does not include PDE, you will have to install it.
Go to Help > Eclipse Marketplace
Search for "pde" in the marketplace
Install the Eclipse PDE (Plug-in Development Environment) 3.10 Luna (Works on Eclipse Mars2)
Clone the repository to get the project. Run maven clean on the directory using the following command
mvn clean verify
Set the workspace to the bundles/ directory in the cloned repository and add the project stored within it to your workspace and build it.
Right Click in Project Explorer > New > Java Project
When asked, uncheck the default location and set the location to bundles/org.apache.syncope.ide.eclipse.plugin
Add the target directory to the build path
Also add the PDE Plug-in dependencies library to the project
Eclipse provides the functionality of running a separate instance of eclipse with the plugin installed in it. This provides us the opportunity to both test and debug our plugin in the eclipse environment away from our current instance of eclipse where the plugin is built.
Right Click on the project > Run As > Run Configurations > Add Eclipse Application > Run
This will start a new instance of Eclipse with our plugin installed. To view the plugin,
Go to Window > Show View > Other.. > Apache Syncope Category > Apache Syncope View
Click on Login and enter details for the syncope deployment
Once you enter valid details and click OK on the dialog box, you will be able to see the Mail and Report Templates listed in the TreeView
