Setting up the deegree3 modules in Eclipse
This page describes how to checkout / set up deegree3 in Eclipse. For a description of setting up the modules with the Maven build system please take a look at deegree3/BuildingDeegree3.
Before starting, make sure you have Java SDK 1.6 (Update 4 or later is required, because deegree 3 depends on JAXB 2.1 API), Eclipse and Subclipse installed (be sure to select a Subclipse version compatible with the Eclipse version).
1. New SVN project
Create a new project that is built from an SVN repository (File -> New -> Project).

2. Checkout from SVN
Enter the SVN repository URL: http://svn.wald.intevation.org/svn/deegree/deegree3/trunk

3. Select modules to download
The deegree 3 hierarchy will appear. You may select deegree-core and deegree-services as these comprise the deegree 3 implementation. You may also want to get the deegree-tools module which contains additional utilities.

4. Set up build path using Maven
At this point the projects are not compiling/have build path errors. First, set the M2_REPO variable deegree3/SettingMavenVariableInEclipse. Then invoke Maven from the command line to set up your build paths. Execute the following, first for deegree-core, then deegree-service, then deegree-tools - in the respective module directory:
- mvn eclipse:eclipse - which will set up .project and .classpath files for Eclipse
In case you experience that Eclipse doesn't seem to build, you may need to select "Project" -> "Clean" or "Project" -> "Build Project" manually. Don't hesitate to ask on the deegree-users list if you run into any problems. See GettingInvolved#MailingLists
