 {info}This Java developer guide will help you learn how to create Apatar project in Eclipse IDE. {info}
  
 h4. Pre-requirements
  
 * Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers version 3.5.1
 * Subversive plug-in for Eclipse installed (to enable working with SVN). [http://www.eclipse.org/subversive/]
  
 h4. Configuration
  
 1. Start Eclipse and create a workspace
  
 !1.1.PNG!&nbsp;
 &nbsp;
 !1.2.PNG!
  
 &nbsp;2. Open SVN Repository Exploring Perspective
  
 !2.PNG!\\
  
 3. Right-click in the SVN Repository Exploring tab and choose `New \-> Repository Location` to create a new link to repository
  
 !3.PNG!
  
 4. In the `URL` field, enter [http://apatar.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/apatar/sourcecode_second/]
 Uncheck `Validate Repository Location on finish` to increase productivity
  
 !4.PNG!\\
  
 5. Right-click the `sourcecode` folder and select `Find/Check Out As...`
  
 !5.PNG!\\
  
 6. To create a project, select the options as below in the "Check out As" window (keep the default settings):
  
 &nbsp; !6.PNG!
  
 7. Indicate that you are creating a `Java Project` and click `Next`
  
 &nbsp; !7.PNG!
  
 8. The next window should have the following settings (you can enter any Project name that is convenient for you):
  
 {note}Apatar requires JRE 1.6 or higher{note}
  
  8. The next window should have the following settings (you can enter any Project name that is convenient for you):{note}Apatar requires JRE 1.6 or higher {note}
 &nbsp; !8.PNG!
  
 9. At this screen, click `Yes`.
  
 &nbsp; !9.PNG!
  
 10. Now you can start setting up the project. Right-click the project name and select `Properties`
  
 &nbsp; !10.PNG!
  
 11. In the next window, select `Java Build Path`. Go to the `Source` tab and add folders with plug-ins source code by clicking the `Add Folder...` button
  
 &nbsp; !11.PNG!
  
 12. Check all `src` folders in each plug-in within the `plugins` folder
  
 &nbsp; !12.PNG!
  
 13. Check `Allow output folders for source folders`. For each plug-in, specify a desired folder for compiled files. All compiled files should be in `bin` folders in related plug-in folders, thus the path should be&nbsp;like `plugins/core/plug-in_name/bin` or `plugins/connectors/plug-in_name/bin` or `plugins/rich_ui_framework/plug-in_name/bin`. At this screen, select `Output folder: (Default output folder)` for each plug-in and click `Edit...`
  
 &nbsp; !13.PNG!
  
 14. In the Source Folder Output Location window, select `Specific output folder (path relative to 'project_name')` and click `Browse`
  
 &nbsp; !14.PNG!
  
 15. Select a plug-in and then click `Create New Folder...`. If a `bin` folder in a related plug-in folder already exists, you can select it, though if you found a `bin` folder, you are most likely in a wrong folder, as far as SVN doesn't create `bin` folders when creating a project.
  
 &nbsp; !15.PNG!
  
 16. Enter `bin` in the `Folder name:` field
  
 &nbsp; !16.PNG!
  
 17. Accordingly, Source Folder Output Location's screen should look something like this:
  
 &nbsp; !17.PNG!
  
 18. Repeat steps 13-17 for each plug-in so that each plug-in folder contains a `bin` folder.
  
 19. Below is an example of a project's set-up screen that appears after you set up source code location and folders for compiled files. Review the list and make sure there are no the `Output folder: (Default output folder)` lines. Each `Output folder: ` line should contain a specific path to a `bin` folder of a related plug-in.
  
 &nbsp; !19.PNG!
  
 20. Now you can start setting up libraries at the `Libraries` tab to enable Eclipse compile the project. To add libraries, click `Add JARs...`
  
 &nbsp; !20.PNG!
  
 21. In the `JAR Selection` window, choose libraries in the `lib` folder located in the project's root folder. To select all of the libraries, click the first element on the list, hold `Shift` or `Ctrl`, and then click the last element on the list. Select only JAR files. Confirm the selection by clicking `OK`
  
 &nbsp; !21.PNG!
  
 22. Now you should add libraries from a `lib` folder of each plug-in that has such a folder.
  
 &nbsp; !22.1.PNG!
 &nbsp;
 &nbsp; !22.2.PNG!
  
 23. Eclipse keeps track of the libraries that have already been added, so next time you click `Add JARs...`, the `JAR Selection` screen will contain fewer folders. The main task is that this window should be empty when you are done with adding libraries.
  
 &nbsp; !23.PNG!
  
 24. In the screenshot below, you can see an example of how Eclipse should look like when you are done with project set-up.
  
 &nbsp; !24.PNG!
  
 25. Now you should configure the application start-up in Eclipse. Click the button and select `Open Run Dialog...` (`Open Run Dialog...` can also be found in the main menu of Eclipse.)
  25. Now you should configure the application start-up in Eclipse. Click the button and select `Run Configurations...` (`Run Configurations...` can also be found in the main menu of Eclipse.)
  
 &nbsp; !25.PNG!
  
 26. In the Run window, right-click `Java Application` and select `New`
  
 &nbsp; !26.PNG!
  
 27. The folowing screenshot explains how the main panel of the `Run` window will look like. At the `Main` tab, enter `org.java.plugin.boot.Boot` to the `Main class` field
  
 &nbsp; !27.PNG!
  
 28. At the `Arguments` tab, enter `debug="true"` in the `Program arguments` field, and enter `-Djpf.boot.config="boot1.properties"` in the `VM arguments` field
  
 &nbsp; !28.PNG!
  
 29. Now you should create a folder to store logs. Right-click the project's title and select `New` \-> `Folder`
  
 &nbsp; !29.PNG!
  
 30. In the `New Folder` window, enter `logs` in the `Folder name` field and click `Finish`
  
 &nbsp; !30.PNG!
  
 Now you are ready to work with Apatar.
