Perfect. Thank you @Kai
This is correct, although a few add-on actions were also missing in the openHAB Designer.
But you are right, how add-on actions can be supported in the ESH Designer is an open issue - I have just created Introduce a mechanism to easily register action method signatures · Issue #997 · eclipse-archived/smarthome · GitHub for tracking this. If anybody has a good suggestion on how this could be implemented, please feel free to comment on it.

I’ve had this issue as well, there is a simple way to preserve your javadoc formatting:put a // @formatter:off above the start of the javadoc and // @formatter:on after, like this:
// @formatter:off
/**
* This is my nicely formatted javadoc
*/
// @formatter:on

I’ve finally decided to bite the bullet and try and set up the new IDE to fix a OH1 Netatmo defect. I followed the instructions at https://github.com/openhab/openhab-distro/blob/master/docs/sources/development/ide.md, but how do I configure the binding? By this I mean where do I create a config file with the OH1 config info.
In conf/services/netatmo.cfg?
Exactly, can somebody provide steps how to get a OH1 config working including items and sitemaps with the IDE?

( @Kai ) I accidentally deleted the default selected plugins in the runtime configuration, which ones should I enable to het de included demo running and de console interface?
At startup it keeps asking for
‘git.clone.esh.location’ (undeclared)
Variable
Only when ESH is cloned I guess.
Thank you Kai for your time invested in this project and answering (even) to beginners’ questions. I understand that importing OpenHAB2 environment to an existing installation of Eclipse is complicated but is it doable? The installer just does not run for me.
But maybe I could do it in a virtual guest so no panic on this one.

Anyone know how to solve this one? It doesn’t happen on a fresh install on my Mac, but in Linux it does. It happens when the startup tasks are started - I guess it’s after a foldername that wasn’t stored during the initial setup?
@bhuism id you manage to solve this? I’ve not needed to get this working on Linux yet, but will start to look at this tonight. If you’ve managed to work out what’s wrong with the setup, it would be good - if not, I’ll have a play and try and work out how to get the IDE running…
I don’t, but I am looking into it.
What I found is that this only occurs if you select “ESH + OH2 Core Bundles”, so this might actually be the difference for @chris between Mac + Linux setup?
With a bit of luck, this fixes the issue: https://github.com/openhab/openhab-distro/pull/154
It might take a day before the Eclipse Installer refers to this new version.

No - I have the same on both setups…
Thanks for looking into this.
Yes, it absolutely is doable. You mainly have to check out from git yourself, import the projects in the workspace and set the target platform. This should make the projects compile nicely in a standard Eclipse IDE as well!
I have downloaded this runtime today. The setup was really easy! Thanks for your work on this.
Yet, when I want to test a new (OpenHAB2) Addon I’m struggling with loading this new binding. From other annoucements I got the impression that OH2 now runs on Karaf, but the console output clearly states the use of Equinox. So how do I load an additional addon into the runtime?
This is no contradiction. Karaf offers to use either Felix or Equinox. We chose Equinox.
So how do I load an additional addon into the runtime?
Simply by putting it in the addons folder.
Ah well, seems I was skimming the Karaf docs a bit to fast…
Still I don’t get how to load an addon… I created a new OH2 Binding Skeleton in the same folder as the other OH2 Bindings. Now do I have to build them via maven and copy the files somewhere, or can I directly debug them from within the Eclipse setup? I would especially like to test the auto discovery feature (via jmdns).
I’m usually working in other environments (Websphere Liberty and similar), so I might need some time to adjust.
Yes, you can clearly test your binding directly in the IDE! Simply make sure it is selected on the launch configuration, see here and run the launch configuration of the runtime.
