Eclipse step by step install instructions

The eclipse install for cTAKES 3.2 is very similar to the install for cTAKES 3.1 and 3.0, except for the following:

  • Recommend choosing "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers" package when downloading Eclipse
  • The subversive maven m2e plugin recommended in the 3.0 install guide is no longer maintained and difficult to obtain. Subclipse can be used in its place. Instead of steps 2, 3 and 5 under "Preparing Eclipse", install subclipse and the subclipse m2e plugin. To do this, go to Help -> Install New Software... then click the Add... button to add a new repository. Set name to Subclipse and location to http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.10.x Click OK, then check the box next to Subclipse to select subclipse and all of its components, click Next and click through the license agreements until Subclipse installs. Click Yes to restart Eclipse when the install completes.  Next, repeat the preceding process, except when you add the repository set name to Subclipse - m2e plugin and location to http://subclipse.tigris.org/m2eclipse/latest/ and check the box next to Maven Integration for Subclipse
  • If you chose the "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers" package when downloading Eclipse, then m2e is already installed and you can skip step 4 under "Preparing Eclipse"
  • Maven now automatically downloads the necessary dictionary and model resources and includes them on the classpath, so you can skip steps 3-6 of "Compile a release in Eclipse"
  • When downloading the separately-downloadable resources, download ctakes-resources-3.2.1.zip instead of ctakes-resources-3.0.1.zip
  • There are more components in cTAKES 3.2 than there were in cTAKES 3.1

While noting the things above, see the cTAKES 3.0 Developer Install Guide for the step-by-step instructions.
