[ENHANCEMENT] Document development setup more throroughly

Open JANHMS opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Describe the bug I use Eclipse, I clone the repo and I set up a new project in Eclipse from an Antbuildfile. I select the build.xml file. Then I click on Finish. Once I do that the error message: source folder 'main' in project 'ARX' cannot output to distinct source folder 'test' appears.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to 'Eclipse'
  2. Click on 'File' -> 'New' -> 'Project' -> 'Java' -> 'Java Project from existing Ant buildfile'
  3. Click on 'Next'
  4. Browse for the build file 'build.xml'
  5. See error

Afterwards I would like to run the example files. I think the README.md could be enhanced. e.g. giving a section, where it says "How to use" / "How to run example" in case a user does not want to use the GUI, but the code itself.

Expected behavior I would assume it sets up the project and I can run the examples.

I think the README.md could be enhanced. e.g. giving a section, where it says "How to use" / "How to run example" in case a user does not want to use the GUI, but the code itself.

I can run the example using eclipse without the need to build the GUI. Maybe this tutorial could help.

Thanks for reporting this. We have never tried to set up ARX in eclipse that way. You can use the tutorial linked in the response above. I agree, however, that this needs to be improved and documented better. Changed to enhancement.
