Neo4j Inside Eclipse

[Amit Aggarwal]

I am developing a server plugin for neo4j. I want to run neo4j inside eclipse as well as debug my newly develop plugin also.

I read tutorial http://blog.neo4j.org/2012/03/how-to-set-up-maven-project-with-neo4j.html on how to include neo4j in eclipse but still I am not able to run Neo4j through eclipse.

Secondly, If I were able to run neo4j then in which directory would I develop my plugin ?

I am bit confuse on these two fronts.

Any Help Thanks

You would package your plugin according to the packages your company usually uses.

Here is an example on how to use an embedded Neo4j server for testing:

https://github.com/neo4j-contrib/rabbithole/blob/master/src/test/java/org/neo4j/community/console/ImportRemoteGraphTest.java#L52

Make sure that your src/main/resources/META-INF/services ServerPlugin file is set up correctly according to the docs.

Amit,
I think setting up eclipse for ruining the server in debug mode is more complicated than in the video. I would just deploy the plugin to the normal server and run the server process with remote debugging. Would that work?

Hello Peter,

Well May be I am able to understand you my problem..

Step 1 : I wrote one plugin in eclipse , I compile it so I got GetAll.class file.
Step 2: I moved 'GetAll.class' to /var/www/neo4j/plugins/ directory and did all jar things (exactly as documented)
Step 3: I call my plugin using curl and it worked , no problem..

But My problem is , even If i make any changes to my plugin , even of a single variable , again and again I have repeat step 1 and step 2 and step 3
More over I am not able to debug my 'GetAll.java' file.


How can i rid of the method so that I can write my plugin in eclipse , deploy it there only and can debug there itself.

I hope I am understandable now :)
Any Help

Amit,

did you see my answer? You can run an embedded Neo4j server for testing/debugging purposes within an JUnit Integration test.

Amit,

for 3), see http://docs.neo4j.org/chunked/stable/server-debugging.html on how to set up Neo4j server for remote debugging. In Eclipse, just follow the standard guides like http://javarevisited.blogspot.se/2011/02/how-to-setup-remote-debugging-in.html.

You can automate step 1) and 2) by just having a small shell script:

#!/bin/sh

javac .....

//build your plugin.zip

neo4j stop

cp plugin.zip $NEO4J_HOME/plugins/

neo4j start
