Using Eclipse with Cesium

[Robert Smith]

Being new to Eclipse, it seems to be Java oriented. I didn’t find anything on the Cesium website that explains how to work with Cesium/JavaScript using Eclipse.

1.       How do I load and build the Cesium dev tree from Eclipse? (Eclipse generates an error when opening a .js file)

2.       How do I create my own JavaScript Eclipse project for use with Cesium?

 

Off topic, the very first time I ran Eclipse, it had a nice “Start” page with overview and tutorial sections. After a I went through the first tutorial, that start page disappeared. How do I get it back so I can continue with the Eclipse tutorials?

 

Thanks!

Bob

We use Eclipse to work on Cesium itself, since it's the least terrible free JavaScript IDE we've found (high praise, I know), but you don't need to use Eclipse to make your own applications if you don't want to.  Any text editor or IDE will work.

That said, we have some information on our Contributor's Guide that describes how to set up Eclipse and import the project into your workspace:

Also, to get the Welcome screen back in Eclipse you can go to Help -> Welcome.

Thank you Scott.

 

I did get a forked version of the Cesium project to build in Eclipse. If I am correct, I would use this only if I contribute something to Cesium.

 

To build my own web sites, I don’t want to use notepad. I have several IDE’s including VS 2012, Eclipse, Expression Blend 4 and Expression Web 4. I did get the Cesium “Hello World” tutorial working in VS 2012 but I have had no luck creating a web site using Cesium with Eclipse. Even after scowering the internet and trying several different methods (everyone uses a myriad of different plugins) I still can’t get an Cesium Eclipse web site up and running.

 

1.       How do you create your Cesium web sites (Eclipse?)

2.       Can you point me to an simple (non-Sandcastle) example?

 

Thanks again for your time,

 

Bob
