P4Eclipse - We've Moved!

P4Eclipse is now available from The Eclipse Marketplace. It is no longer maintained here in The Workshop.

Instructions for building P4Eclipse in a Linux environment

Prerequisites:

• Java 6 or higher
• Ant 1.6 or higher
• Maven 3.x
• Eclipse Luna (4.4) or Eclipse Mars (4.5)

To build:

1. Environment variables (change according to your own environment):

   $ export MVN=`which mvn`
   $ export VER=2015.1
   $ export CHANGE=123456

2. Run the script to build an updatesite

    cd src/3.7/build/p4eclipse_parent
    ./build_linux.sh updatesite

   The results will be in:

   src/3.7/build/p4eclipse_updatesite/target/p4eclipse-updatesite-***-site.zip

3. Unarchive the new updatesite zip file onto an empty directory (i.e. p4-eclipse-plugin):

   $ unzip p4eclipse-updatesite-***-site.zip

4. Install from the new updatesite directory:

   • Eclipse -> Help -> Install New Software
   • click "Add..."
   • click "Local..."
   • browse to the new unarchive p4eclipse updatesite directory
   • ...and follow the normal installation procedure...

Version note: Eclipse Luna (4.4) is required for the 2014.1 build. Eclipse Mars (4.5) is required for the 2015.1 build.
