##Building and Development
Eclipse Kepler (4.3.1) is the recomended way to build and develop on the kotlin-eclipse project so far. The Eclipse SDK version could also be a good choice for development because of bundled sources for eclipse core and JDT plugins.
In order to start development in Eclipse:
-
Import plugin projects from the cloned repository into your workspace
File->Import->Existing Projects into Workspace -
Run launch configuration for downloading Kotlin compiler. It will be used as a bundled compiler in built plugin and as a library during development
kotlin-bundled-compiler/Get Bundled Kotlin.launch -> Run As -> Get Bundled Kotlin -
Run another instance of Eclipse with the Kotlin plugin inside
kotlin-eclipse-ui -> Run As -> Eclipse Application
Building from the console is also available (Note that Maven 3.0.5 is required):
cd {repository}/kotlin-bundled-compiler
ant -f get_bundled.xml
cd {repository}
mvn install
