Setting up Pogamut with Eclipse IDE

Setting up Pogamut with Eclipse IDE

This section shows you how to set up Pogamut 3 with Eclipse IDE. It covers all the steps from Eclipse installation to launching a Pogamut bot within Eclipse. All credits go to Clement Liew.

Step 1. Install Eclipse 3.6, 3.7 or newer.

Download Eclipse IDE for Java Development
Unpack it to some place, e.g. c:\eclipse
Turn off UAC (some plugins are having problems with UAC during installation)

Step 2. Install Subclipse plugin.

See Subclipse Download and Install web page
Copy to clipboard correct update site, e.g. http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.8.x
Startup Eclipse, go to Menu->Help->Install New Software
Click on Add button on the right-upper side of the dialog
Add new update site (name it Subclipse and provide link from the clipboard from the Subclipse site)
List your new site from the combobox
Install Subclipse plugins

Step 3. Install M2Eclipse plugin (this step is not required as of Eclipse 3.7.2 version that has M2E bundled, applies if you're using IDE for Java Developers version of Eclipse)

Similar operation to installing Subclipse but different update site
See m2ecplise web page, particularly m2ecplise Download section
Pick their update site, e.g.: http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases
Install plugins from their update site

Step 4. Now it is advised to use Tortoise SVN (or some other SVN client) to checkout desired Pogamut project from the SVN

Use svn://artemis.ms.mff.cuni.cz/pogamut/project for all projects

Step 5. In Eclipse, right-click empty space in Package explorer window (usually located on the left upper side of Eclipse), click Import, choose Existing Maven Project and browse for folder where you have checked out the Pogamut SVN

Eclipse should load all Maven projects into the list and you may select which one you want to import

Step 6. Alternatively, you may specify new remote catalog of archetypes via Eclipse->Window->Preferences->Maven->Archetypes

Click Add Remote Catalog
Fill in catalog URL: http://diana.ms.mff.cuni.cz:8081/artifactory/libs-release-local/archetype-catalog.xml
Name it as: Pogamut Archetypes
Click OK
After that you may create new Maven project based on archetype from the catalog, note that we're regularly updating the catalog with each release of the Pogamut platform

Step 7. An illustrated guide to running an example bot

Assuming successful installation of Pogamut for NetBeans previously, head to the following (or respective) directory and run DM Server, may need to run as admin
Server up and running
Run HunterBot.java
Open UT2004->Join Game->Lan
