Using Eclipse

Introduction

Eclipse is somewhat different to the rest of the IDEs because it allows to compile classes on the fly. But yet still Ext-Scripting and Eclipse are a good combination, but several things have to be taken into consideration.

• Ext-Scripting does its own incremental compile cycle depending on the sources changed
• Deployment and Redeployment is not needed as long as Ext-Scripting itself can pick up the changes

Setting up Eclipse

Prerequirements

• make sure that your project compiles properly and can be properly deployed from eclipse. Turn off any auto deployment mechanisms which might trigger unnecessary restarts.
• If you use scripting languages make sure to have the proper plugin installed for the scripting language of your choice

Setting up Ext-Scripting specifics

If you only have one sourcepath you might have a look at the package whitelisting to mark only the packages you actively want to edit for this deployment cycle. This speeds up startup time and helps generally to avoid restarts.
