Hello, I'm studying how to build and run the 4Diac IDE directly from the source. Do you have any tutorials on how to do this compilation? Is there any step by step to follow?

Yes we have it in our documentation: https://github.com/eclipse-4diac/4diac-documentation

There is also a current pull request with an update to make it clearer: https://github.com/eclipse-4diac/4diac-documentation/pull/25

I would recommend to follow this new description.

I haven't tried building the master branch for a long time. Master is the latest release. If you want to work from source I strongly recommend to use develop or freeze branch.

What Java compiler level is set in your preferences: Window -> Preferences -> Java -> compiler. Currently it needs to be Java 17

The error message from the ant task in the console can be ignored. Can you show the other error messages. I guess a full clean rebuild could help.

as described in the documentation: open the target platform file from the org.eclipse.4diac.ide.product plugin, IMPORTANT: wait till the target platform is full loaded (look for progressbar at the bottom right), when the target plattform is loaded, on the top right select set as active target platform. This should lead to a full rebuild of 4diac ide.

I just merged the above mentioned PR regarding building 4diac IDE from source. From the error messages I think you are missing the m2e PE support feature and for the errors on xtend files I think simply cleaning and recompiling these plugins should help.

One more question Alois, it's possible to change the language of 4Diac? My customer want to change the language to portuguese and use 4Diac as logic development software.

Yes it is. Or lets phrase it better, we started to prepare for translations. In most of the plugins you will see message.property files. These files contain the texts that needs to be translated. By providing message_pt.properties files with the translated messages text should be in portuguese. but I guess we would need your support to do it everywhere. More information on this topic can be found in this article: https://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Internationalization/how2I18n.html

m2e is not enough you need to go to install new software, select your eclipse release and search for "m2e PDE ..." the PDE is important as written in the documentation.

Hi Alois, when i made the run, open the 4Diac. But the templates and type libraries don't open. In the documentation explain to copy and paste the data in .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.pde.core/.bundle_pool. But this local don't exist. Have some configuration i need to do to make this folder?

The .metdata older is in your Eclipse Java workspace.

If you have any improvement suggestions for the documentation feel free to submit a pull request to: https://github.com/eclipse-4diac/4diac-documentation

As written above. This message can be ignored. This ant task is needed for building the final 4diac IDE on the build server. However I never managed to get it working on old developer's machines.

You definitely have a .metadata directory in your java workspace. This is where eclipse stores a lot of your information. It is the directory that you choose when you start your Eclipse Java IDE.

That's an error on my part - the IDE tries to download missing libraries from a configured GitLab

Will change this to fail silently / not attempt it if no server is configured

we are currently reworking type library handling. This may change a bit in the next days and week. One thing we have, if correctly configured is to load type libs from a gitlab server. This loading didn't correctly check the configuration and connection. This is fixed with this PR https://github.com/eclipse-4diac/4diac-ide/pull/32
