Eclipse Eclipse is an IDE (Integrated Development
Environment) It’s an open source project
http://www.eclipse.org Consortium of companies, including IBM Launched in November 2001
It’s a framework for software tools (“plug-ins” in Eclipse terminology) Main component is the workbench Ships with two plug-ins JDT (Java Development Tools)
and PDE (Plug-in Development Environment)

Workbench Workspace It is possible to drag and drop resources
directly between Workbench and the directory structure

Subclipse It is an Eclipse plug-in It aims to provide all Subversion
functionality to the Eclipse development environment.
It is an open source project: http://subclipse.tigris.org/
ArchStudio 4 Developed by the Institute for Software Research at
UCI Environment of integrated tools for
Modeling Visualizing Analyzing Implementing software and systems architectures.
Based on Eclipse open development platform It is an open-source software and systems architecture
development environment: http://www.isr.uci.edu/projects/archstudio/
Myx Framework Myx Framework (Myx.fw) can be used to
implement Myx applications in Java. Myx.fw provides Java libraries that contain the
constraints of the Myx Style. The Myx Architectural Style:
It was used to build ArchStudio 4. It is a set of rules for composing the components and
connectors of an application like ArchStudio. More Information:
http://www.isr.uci.edu/projects/archstudio/myx.html
Lunar Lander It is the classic Lunar Lander game with a
3D interface Developed by undergraduate and
graduate classes in ICS Developed in Java using Myx.fw It uses OpenGL libraries to support the
3D graphs
1. Install Eclipse Download Eclipse Classic 3.3.2:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ Unzip it and run eclipse.exe
Useful Links: Eclipse Glossary:
http://www.eclipse.org/glossary.html List of Plug-ins:
http://www.eclipseplugincentral.com/
2. Install Subeclipse Follow the instructions here:
http://subclipse.tigris.org/install.html See the considerations in the next slide,
before installing it.
2. Install Subeclipse - Considerations Update site:
http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.2.x In the Select features to install, only select Subclipse
Plugin:
2. Install Subeclipse - Verification To see the Subeclipse Perspective: go to
Window->Open Perspective->Others->SVN Repository Exploring
3. Install ArchStudio Plug-in Go to this url and follow the instructions in
the “Video Tutorial showing how to install ArchStudio 4”http://www.isr.uci.edu/projects/archstudio/setup-easy.html
Following these instructions you will install ArchStudio 4 as an Eclipse Plug-in. Before installing see the considerations in the next slide.
3. Install ArchStudio - Considerations Update site:
http://www.isr.uci.edu/projects/archstudio-update/ Please, select all the components during the
installation:
3. Install ArchStudio - Verification To see the ArchStudio Perspective: go to
Window->Open Perspective->Others->ArchStudio
4. Install ArchStudio and Myx Source Code Go to this url and follow the instructions in
the “Checking Out for the First Time” section.http://www.isr.uci.edu/projects/archstudio/setup-fromsource.html
Before installing see the considerations in the next slide.
4. Install ArchStudio and Myx Source Code - Consideration You only need to download the
“ArchStudio 4 Project Set File” and follow the steps in the website for this file.
4. Install ArchStudio and Myx Source Code - Verification The installation will take some time. At the
end of it, you should have these projects in your Package Explorer
5. Install Lunar Lander Download the source code from the class
website and extract it in a directory different than your eclipse workspace.
Go to File->New->Java Project. ProjectName: LunarLander Select Create project from exiting source and
indicate the LunarLander directory where you extracted the source code.
5. Install LL - Verification You should have the LunarLander project in your
Package Explorer. The errors that appear will be solved after installing the OpenGL libraries.
6. Install OpenGL Libraries Find out the location of the JDK for
Eclipse. Go to: Window->Preferences. Select
Java->Installed JREs (In Mac: Eclipse->Preferences)
Take note of the location of the JDK. We will refer to this location as <jdk_location>
6. Install OpenGL Libraries For Windows Users:
Donwload the following zip file: http://download.java.net/media/jogl/builds/archive/jsr-231-1.1.0/jogl-1.1.0-windows-i586.zip
Unzip it Copy jogl.dll and jogl_awt.dll to <jdk_location>/jre/bin In Eclipse, add external jar for jogl.jar and gluegen-rt.jar. See Note.
For MAC Users: Download the following zip file:
http://download.java.net/media/jogl/builds/archive/jsr-231-1.1.0/jogl-1.1.0-macosx-universal.zip
Unzip it In Eclipse, add external jar for jogl.jar and gluegen-rt.jar. See Note. Copy *.jnilib (4 files) to the LunarLander folder and refresh your project in Eclipse
Note: To add external jar: Select LunarLander Project. Go to Project->Properties, Java Build Path->Libraries. Click “Add External JARs…”.
Now your LunarLander project should be free of errors.
7. Run ArchStudio Go to the Plug-in Development
Perspective In the Package Explorer, select the
project: edu.uci.isr.archstudio4 (the first one)
Press the Run button
8. In the new Eclipse instance The previous step will open a new eclipse
instance to run the ArchStudio Plug-in The following steps should be done in this
new instance
8.1 Install Myx.fw Source Code Go to the Java Perspective in Eclipse Go to File->Import. Select Other-
>Checkout Projects from SVN. Create new Repository with the following
URL:http://tps.ics.uci.edu/svn/projects/
8.1 Install Myx.fw Select myxfw->trunk->edu.uci.isr.myx.fw
and Finish.
8.1 Install Myx.fw - Verification Check that you have the project
“edu.uci.isr.myx.fw” in your Package Explorer.
8.2 Install Lunar Lander Go to File->New->Java Project.
ProjectName: LunarLander Select Create project from exiting source and
indicate the LunarLander directory where you extracted the source code you downloaded for step 5.
Refer to Step 5 to verify the installation
9. Run LL Application Go to the ArchStudio Perspective In the Navigator view, select
LunarLander->arch.xml Right click on arch.xml and select Open
with AIM Launcher
9. Run LL Application In the Outline View, select “Lunar Lander” In the AIM Launcher View, click on Instantiate
