FAQ OpenJump and Eclipse
email to ...
Iñigo, Running OpenJUMP from Eclipse does not usually cause specific problems. What is your interest to run OpenJUMP from Eclipse? If it is to do development, you should use SVN (i.e. the Subclipse \PlugIn) to get the \OpenJUMP sources on your machine, and then import them into Eclipse. By this way you will have the "correct" folder structure:
- /build : the output folder specified in the "properties" of your Eclipse OpenJUMP project, tab "source"
- /etc : some useful files such as log4j.xml, jump-properties.xml
- /src : the source folder specified in the "properties" of your Eclipse OpenJUMP project, tab "source"
in /src, you have:
- /src/com : all the stuff from VividSolutions
- /src/language : all the translations
- /src/org : all the stuff from OpenJUMP and geotools
Then, when you run OpenJUMP, you must set the following options:
- project: name of your Eclipse project.
- Main class: com.vividsolutions.jump.workbench.JUMPWorkbench
- Program arguments: -properties etc/workbench-properties.xml -i18n es_ES
- VM arguments: -Dlog4j.configuration=file:./etc/log4j.xml
Here es_ES is used to get Spanish language. I recommend you to use Java 1.5 or higher. For the OpenJUMP sources, if you want the stable release 1.2D, it is under http://sourceforge.net/projects/jump-pilot For the SVN version, choose SVN on the jump-pilot sourceforge page.
Tell me if you have more trouble. I just tested OpenJUMP from Eclipse with these settings, and it works (including es_ES locale).
