At home you need to install the client tools yourself. The recommended way of doing it is to start from the JTransformer installation page. Please use the current Eclipse 3.6 named “Helios”.

After you have installed SWI-Prolog, Eclipse and JTransformer proceed to install the additional plugins as described below.

To be able to use SVN in Eclipse, the “Subversive SVN Team Provider” has to be installed.

1. Open “Help » Install New Software”.
2. Choose the “Helios” repository from the dropdown and enter “svn” into the search field. ¹⁾
3. Install the “Subversive SVN Team Provider”.

The first time you do anything SVN related (like opening the SVN Repository perspective), a dialog will pop up and ask you which “SVN connector” to install.

Choose the latest “SVNKit” version.

The Graph Viewer uses the “Zest” plugin. To install it:

1. Open “Help » Install New Software”.
2. Choose the “Helios” repository from the dropdown and enter “Graphical Editing Framework” into the search field. ²⁾
3. Install “Graphical Editing Framework GEF SDK” and “Graphical Editing Framework Zest Visualisation Toolkit SDK”

There are two options to integrate the Graph Viewer from the First Day Challenge into your Eclipse at home. The plugin is available as source in your SVN (mosa.cultivate.graphview). After you have done a “Checkout” on this project you can either

• Integrate it into your eclipse installation via its dropins folder or
• Run it from your workspace as a separate Eclipse instance

The simplest option is to copy the plugin directly to the dropins folder within your eclipse installation folder. After a restart of Eclipse, the graph viewer should be available as a view.

If the above does not work, alternatively copy to the dropins folder the jar file “mosa.cultivate.graphview.jar” from the top level of the “mosa.cultivate.graphview” project.

See this Short Tutorial by Lars Vogella on how to start an Eclipse runtime. As a “product” select to run “org.eclipse.sdk.ide” and as a “plugin” make sure to have the “graph” plugin checked.
