Hi!
This is how I use to do it, the first part is regarding Installation of Eclipse openHAB2, just leave it if you as I assume already had it installed.
Download the Eclipse Installer
Launch the Eclipse Installer and switch to âAdvanced Modeâ in the top right menu:
Choose the âEclipse IDE for Java Developersâ and select âNextâ:
Expand the âGithub Projects / openHABâ entry, double click âopenHAB Development, openHAB 2 Add-ons, openHAB 1 Add-ons, Eclipse SmartHome Extensions, ESH + OH2 Core Bundlesâ (the double click is important: The entry has to appear in the empty table at the bottom). Furthermore double-click all entries that you would want to have available in your workspace (you can select multiple/all of them). Make sure that all of them are listed in the table at the bottom and select âNextâ.
Select Show all variables. Now provide an Installation folder name (donât use spaces in the path on Windows!) and your Github id (used to push your changesets to) set Workspace location rule: till /home/âuserâ/eclipse-smarthome and select âNextâ.
The installation will now begin when pressing âFinishâ.
Once it is done, you will see the Eclipse Welcome Screen, which you can close by clicking âWorkbenchâ on the top right. You will see that the installer not only set up an Eclipse IDE instance for you, but also checked out all selected git repositories and imported all projects into the workspace. This could take some time
Now select âHelp->Perform Setup TasksâŠâ from the menu and click âFinishâ:
To remove the very last errors in the workspace, run a âproject cleanâ on all projects that still show errors:
Run openhab in IDE Run / Run or in Package Explorer Infrastructure / Right click openHAB_Runtime.launch / Run As / openHAB_Runtime
Note that you will find the sources in a subfolder called âgitâ within your selected installation folder. You can use any kind of git client here, if you do not want to use the git support from within the Eclipse IDE. If you want to push changes, you need to do so to your personal fork of the repository in order to create a pull request. You will find more details in the âHow to contributeâ documentation.
Edit binding part:
Edit the binding.
Do some testâs
Export the new binding,
Right click the binding in Package Explorer.
Export
Tab Java
Choose JAR file
Next
Select prefered binding under Select the resources to export.
Select Export generated class files and resources or and the resources you prefer to export and everything in Options.
Under Select the export destination,choose directory Browse and filename as: org.openhab.binding.XX.jar
Finish
4.Seems like you have to edit the MANIFEST.MF file manually. So open your exported binding in some texteditor and copy all text from Eclipse IDE Package Explorer /META-INF/MANIFEST.MF to the MANIFEST.MF file you just opened , save and let the .jar upgrade.
I do hope this workâs otherwise Please let me now.
Hi!
My very kindest excuses for the delay, I have totally missed your question.
This point describes how you start openHAB from inside Eclipse.
So you can either start openHAB from the Run Tab and then Run in the upperside in Eclipse, or you can start from the Package Explorer Window in Eclipse( mostly to the right)
