Instructions for building P4Eclipse

Prerequisites:

• Java 6 or higher
• Maven 3.x
• Eclipse Photon (4.8)

To build:

1. Run Maven to build an updatesite

    cd src/3.7/build/p4eclipse_parent
    mvn clean package -P p4update
   

   The results will be in:

   src/3.7/build/p4eclipse_updatesite/target/p4eclipse-updatesite-***-site.zip
   

2. Unarchive the new updatesite zip file onto an empty directory (i.e. p4-eclipse-plugin):

   $ unzip p4eclipse-updatesite-***-site.zip
   

3. Install from the new updatesite directory:

   • Eclipse -> Help -> Install New Software
   • click "Add..."
   • click "Local..."
   • browse to the new unarchive p4eclipse updatesite directory
   • ...and follow the normal installation procedure...

Version note: Eclipse Photon (4.8) is required for the 2018.1 build.
