Eclipse ADT Bundle

[Gary]

I just installed the ADT Bundle. It is the Android Development Tools including Eclipse.

  Setting Up the ADT Bundle | Android Developers

It makes it very easy to install the Android tools with Eclipse.

Check it out and let us know what you think.

I just installed the Google Plugin for Eclipse into the ADT. I used the Juno 4.2 version of the plugin. Eclipse came up and projects that had App Engine do not have the red x. I have not tested.

My next step is to get another branch of the App Inventor source for some testing there.

well, my next step was installing egit :-)

I added egit from the juno collaboration stuff

it warned me the HOME environment variable was not set. I ignored the warning ;-) and then followed the instructions here

I then tried to follow the instructions here

  https://docs.google.com/a/jsoft.com/document/pub?id=1TZetKsnHswA8NrJKqiFao9gAfIdcBoXPvrR2AHktPxw

and found that my repository has conflicts.

I decided to read the document Jeff pointed at in the hangout

  http://sandofsky.com/blog/git-workflow.html

and will then try to untangle what I did previously

Hi Gary,

Does this mean that it may (very?) soon be possible for a noob like me to make apps that combine App Inventor source with "real" Java!?

= the ability to add licensing?

Best,
Bryan

Every day I look at the code and think 'I need to get licensing working'

I am thinking of how to start getting my tools out to others. They are pretty easy to use 

  if you have 30 years experience with that sort of thing :-(

This conversation is documenting what I am doing to get the source for the server to a place where I can use it and do not have to fight to get my stuff merged with MIT (and others).

I found this helped me understand branching a bit better http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Branching-Basic-Branching-and-Merging

.. THAT.. would be cool..

 still hoping and waiting...

.. or "still crazy after all these years?"

thanks,

Here is a picture of what I think I am doing with the repositories

I want to get AdMob, then APK Expansion Files then licensing. It is sorta a progression, one builds on what I learn from the previous.

Your comment touched me Dennis. I have WAY MORE interesting things to do than I have time.

I'm starting another thread.

If you installed Eclipse ADT

and set up your eclipse project https://docs.google.com/a/jsoft.com/document/pub?id=1TZetKsnHswA8NrJKqiFao9gAfIdcBoXPvrR2AHktPxw

and added eGit and the Google Plugin for Eclipse

and other things I carefully documented and now can not find

and set up your App Inventor source with git as documented

you can run ant from Eclipse

right click on build.xml (the top one or the one in the buildserver folder for example)

Run As

  1: Ant Build

  2: Ant Build...

Clicking the first choice (Alt Shift X, Q) runs ant

and the second lets you run some of the other ant targets, useful if you want to get the buldserver tar for example.

Select build.xml and press F11 also runs ant.

Nice
