Getting Started
Eclipse Fedora Packager is a plugin for Eclipse which helps Fedora packagers used to IDEs to package their Fedora RPMs from within Eclipse without needing to resort to the command line.
(Some) Basic features include:
- RPM spec file editor with systax highlighting, auto-completion and changelog (ALT+CTRL+C) support
- Download sources
- Prepare local builds
- Create local builds
- Push build to Koji (automatic tagging if desired)
- Eclipse CVS support
- Mock builds
- Create Bhodi updates
- and many more :-)
Import Fedora CVS Package
Make sure you have run {fedora-packager-setup} before you start. This you have to do once on the command line (If you have used fedora-cvs before, this is not necessary). Then, you need to get your Fedora CVS module. Go to "File" => "Import" => "CVS" => "Projects from Fedora CVS"
After you hit "Next" twice, you are ready to specify the module you'd like to check out.
After you hit "Finish" you should have a new project in Eclipse named after the Fedora CVS module you just checked out. Note: If you click "Next" at this step, checkout will most likely fail. This is a bug (https://fedorahosted.org/eclipse-fedorapackager/ticket/5) we are currently working on.
