can not import source code correctly into Eclipse

Question

would you please provide a quick guide about how to import these source code projects into Eclipse correctly? 

the previous SpagoBI source code are Maven project.  I don't see maven pom xml file in current Knowage project. how to make it? 

by the way, what IDE do you recommend, Eclipse, InteliJ,or anything else?

Answer 1

This is actually pretty straightforward:

1. Checkout the repo via GIT command line or GUI tools
2. Import those project into your Eclipse (which is our preferred IDE)

You will find many resources on the web explaining those two aspects.

We haven't mavenized Knowage yet, so I would suggest to checkout all the projects in order to satisfy the dependencies (as instance the project slimerjs-wrapper is exploit only by the cockpit engine)

I may not clarify clearly.  I mean the projects downloaded from GitHub miss two key Eclipse JAVA project files, i.e.  ".class" file and ".project" file.....which leads to Eclipse can only identify them as normal file folders, can not identify those project as JAVA projects correctly. consequently, Eclipse can not figure out the project reference automatically  either.  thus, the project can not be complied successfully.

I have figured out this problem.  doing many Eclipse configurations manually.    if the ".class" and ".project" files are packaged into source code....the journey might be easier :-)

Why not upload a source that we can import directly into eclipse
