[jdt-dev] Problem with building Eclipse to look at JDT in debugger

["Craig Ugoretz" <craigugoretz@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

 

     I downloaded eclipse-sourceBuild-sourceIncluded-3.2.zip, extracted the files, and imported the files into a java project in Eclipse.  I set up an Ant build and proceeded to run Ant on build.xml.  I got tens of thousands of error for each class used in a .java file saying that the class could not be resolved to a type.  In each package declaration, there is an error stating "the declared package ____ does not match the expected package """.  In each import statement, the section org.eclipse is underlined in red and the error is that the "import org.eclipse can not be resolved". 

 

     My goal in building Eclipse from source is to (1) analyze the source code for concerns using a plugin, and (2) examine the JDT under the Java debugger to understand it better.  I have the additional goal of doing a language integration and I am thinking that by understanding the JDT, it may give me ideas about how to go about it.

 

                                                                                                            Sincerely,

                                                                                                            Craig
