Quick instructions on how to deploy CAVE from Eclipse. 1. Change `/etc/yum.repos.d/awips2.repo` to [awips2repo] name=AWIPS II Repository baseurl=http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/repos/yum/awips2-dev/ enabled=1 protect=0 gpgcheck=0 proxy=_none_ 2. `yum clean all && yum groupinstall awips2-ade` This will install Eclipse (4.5), Java (1.8), Ant, Maven, Groovy, Python (2.7) and its modules (Numpy, Matplotlib, Shapely, and others). 3. git clone https://github.com/Unidata/awips2.git The full list of repositories required as of release 17.1.1: git clone https://github.com/Unidata/awips2.git git clone https://github.com/Unidata/awips2-core.git git clone https://github.com/Unidata/awips2-core-foss.git git clone https://github.com/Unidata/awips2-foss.git git clone https://github.com/Unidata/awips2-ncep.git git clone https://github.com/Unidata/awips2-goesr.git git clone https://github.com/Unidata/awips2-nws.git git clone https://github.com/Unidata/awips2-gsd.git git clone https://github.com/Unidata/awips2-drawing.git git clone https://github.com/Unidata/awips2-cimss.git 4. Run `/awips2/eclipse/eclipse.sh` * Preferences > Java Set to **/awips2/java** * Preferences > PyDev > Python Interpreter Set to **/awips2/python/bin/python** (should be resolved by Auto-Config) * File > Import > General > Existing Projects Into Workspace Import all of the git cloned project folders **EXCEPT** for the main (first) **github.com/Unidata/awips2.git** directory (which should be **~/awips2**). You'll want to import **~/awips2** in three parts to ensure a clean and error-free Eclipse build: 1. Import **awips2/cave** > Select All Projects > Import/Finish 2. Import **awips2/edexOsgi** > Select All Projects > Import/Finish 3. Import **awips2/Radar** > Select All Projects > Import/Finish > The **Radar** folder contains the EDEX Radar Server plugins. Though the Unidata release does not build or use the radar server, the common libraries are required for other AWIPS radar processing and visualization plugins. Now import all other repositories fully: Select **awips2-core**, **awips2-core-foss**, **awips2-foss**, **awips2-ncep**, etc. > Select All Projects > Import/Finish * Project > Clean Run a clean build and ensure no errors are reported. 5. Run **com.raytheon.viz.product.awips/developer.product** Double-click the **developer.product** file to open the Product View in Eclipse. Select **Overview** > **Synchronize** and then right-click the file in the left-side package explorer: Select **Run As** > **Eclipse Application** to launch CAVE in the development environment. Select **Debug** > **Eclipse Application** to launch CAVE in in debug mode.
