Talk:Setting up your workstation for Joomla! development -- Part 2

From Joomla! Documentation

Can you add a section for those of us that are doing extension development? ie. how do we do this when the svn is our project NOT for doing joomla dev itself, if I'm making sense.

Added new article for extension development

Great idea! See Setting up your workstation for extension development. Mark Dexter 02:08, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Error in "Recommended eclipse settings"

-startup
plugins\org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.101.R34x_v20080819.jar
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
512m
-vmargs
-Xms512m
-Xmx512m

Don´t know about Linux machines, but on Windows Systems the line starting with "plugins" must have a "/" instead of "\", or eclipse will throw an error on startup, mentioning, that it can't find the corresponding launcher.

For Windows the correct syntax must be:

plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.101.R34x_v20080819.jar

Well, on my XP and Vista machines, that syntax works fine with Eclipse 3.4. Mark Dexter 22:02, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Extension Installation

I was able to get through it on my own, but I noticed this tutorial doesn't provide any guidance as to installing extensions in Eclipse. Specifically, I had no SVN enabling extension installed by default, but in the tutorial it seems like I should. Maybe a link to a help topic, or acknowledgment that I might need to install some extensions?

Hi. This is the second part of the article. In the first part, it guides you through installing SVN for Eclipse. Here is the link: Setting_up_your_workstation_for_Joomla!_development#Install_Eclipse_Subversion. Mark Dexter 22:09, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
