Automated Developer Setup
The fastest developer setup for contributing to JGit/EGit is to use the Eclipse Installer and the
EGit project setup to prepare an Eclipse IDE for JGit/EGit:
- download and unpack the
Eclipse Installer
- start the Eclipse Installer
- select the advanced mode
- on the product page
- if you are behind a proxy open the proxy settings from the toolbar at the bottom
-
- select "Eclipse IDE for Eclipse Committers" and click "Next"
- on the project page select project "EGit" and click "Next"
- on Variables page accept default target platform, to fine tune variables click "Show all variables", click "Next"
- on the Confirmation page click "Finish"
- the installer installs the chosen IDE and starts it, as soon as the installer says "Press Finish to close the dialog" you can close the installer window
- the newly installed IDE will automatically clone the JGit and EGit repositories and configure the workbench for JGit/EGit development. You can observe the setup progress in the toolbar, if necessary you can reopen the setup wizard by clicking its icon in the status bar
- when the setup finished the IDE should looks similar to this
