This article provides instructions for obtaining the source code of Epsilon from the Eclipse SVN. First of all, you need to add an SVN client to your Eclipse installation. There are two main alternatives:
Subclipse (recommended)
Subversive
Checking out the code from the SVN
Once you have installed an SVN client you need to go through the following steps (instructions and screenshots below are for Subclipse but should be similar for Subversive).
Switch to the SVN Repository Exploring perspective (from the Window→Open Perspective→Other... menu)
Click on the New Repository Location button on the SVN Repositories view and enter the following details
URL: http://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/modeling/org.eclipse.epsilon/
(If you have committer rights you should set the URL to https://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/modeling/org.eclipse.epsilon/ instead - note https vs. http)
Open the trunk node
Select the sub-folders of plugins and features, right-click and check them out as follows
Accept the default settings in the dialog that pops-up and click Finish
Running the Epsilon plugins
To run the Epsilon plugins, switch back to the
Plug-in Development perspective, right-click on any of the projects you have just checked out and click
Run as→Eclipse Application. A new instance of Eclipse with the Epsilon plugins loaded should pop up shortly.
