[rvm-research] problem using eclipse to edit jikes

[Àlex Aletà]

Hi all,

My name's Alex and I've just joined this group. So hello to everybody!

I have a (hopefully easy-to-solve) problem when using eclipse to edit
jikes. I followed the steps of the web page:

$ svn co https://jikesrvm.svn.sf.net/svnroot/jikesrvm/rvmroot/trunk jikesrvm
$ cd jikesrvm
$ bin/buildit --eclipse localhost

(everything looks fine, it says "BUILD SUCCESSFUL" and also "Config  :
production [SUCCESS dj mai 14 16:21:33 CEST 2009]")
So then I proceed:

# From Eclipse, select File-->Import
# Select "Existing Projects Into Workspace"

Apparently the compilation had worked fine but when I import the
eclipse project I get some errors in a couple of files. All the errors
look very much the same (I copy them below).

If I compile the jikes rvm without caring about eclipse support, just
with "ant main", everything works fine and I can use "./dist/*/rvm" to
execute java byte code. But I want to edit some parts of the code and
being able to work with eclipse would be great...

Did anyone have the same problem?
Does anyone have any suggestion about how to solve it?

Thanks in advance!
Alex

Hi Alex,

I have seen the same behaviour. You need not mind, though, everything
works just fine if you just ignore these errors. As far as my research
group knows, building the RVM inside eclipse does not work, so you can
just disregard these errors and build RVM images from the command line
as described. Notice that if you change files from the
/rvm/src-generated folder, you have to redo the compilation, preferrably
after doing "ant real-clean", though "ant very-clean" (in any case
followed by a nomal "ant") is often sufficient for some files to be
regenerated, even if you edit them from inside eclipse. (If you do the
recompliation for such files -- they include the definition of
command-line parameters, which you might want to customize -- don't
forget to refresh the eclipse project.)

In addition, I have sometimes been able to remove these errors when I
bothered to by forcing the recompilation of the files in question. I.e.,
I made some disturbing change to the (AOS)Entrypoints.java file (like
putting a whitespace into a method name, thereby breaking the syntax)
and saved. After restoration to the original state, eclipse felt
inclined to compile the Entrypoints properly.

I would, of course, love to stand corrected on these issues if there is
an easier way to develop in eclipse by now. My own Eclipse version is
3.2 as provided by the Ubuntu 8.04 package repository.

regards,
Jan Sinschek

Hi,

it worked for me. I actually tend to not use buildit to generate the eclipse project (but I tried it this time to see if I could reproduce the problem). Although I use buildit for most of my development/testing, I use ant directly to build the eclipse project (eg, ant -Dconfig.name=prototype-opt; ant -Dconfig.name=prototype-opt eclipse-project) then follow the steps of importing the project. Maybe try that?

I do use eclipse for all of my Jikes RVM development, so it is possible....
