Compile ADempiere sources

You

can use Eclipse to compile and build ADempiere.

1 - Compiling ADempiere
There are two ways for compiling:
Automatically: by default, Eclipse builds (i.e. compiles) automatically when changes
occur. Project > Build is checked by default after Eclipse installation.
Manually: in desirable cases you may want to decide when to compile. Ensure Project
> Build Automatically is not checked. You have to remember to manually compile with
Eclipse before running ADempiere.

II - Building ADempiere
There are three ways for building:
Via console: open a console, change directory to /adempiere_trunk/utils_dev and run
RUN_build.sh. This script performs a clean before building. You see the messages on
the console.
With Eclipse I: in the navigator view, expand utils_dev and select the file RUN_build.sh.
Run it either via context menu (Run as > Run) or main menu (Run > Run). You see the
messages on the console window of Eclipse. It behaves like running it from console.
With Eclipse II: in the navigator view, expand utils_dev and select the file build.xml.
Run it via context menu (Run as > ANT Build). It is faster because it performs a build
without clean.

Running ADempiere client

Running Adempiere through eclipse is simply a matter of creating a run

configuration (Run -> Run... -> Java Application -> New) that points to
the main method in dbPort/src/org.compiere/Adempiere.java.
(in eclipse3.3, Run -> Open Run Dialog...; under Java Application; if
'Adempiere' is not found, select 'New_configuration')
