Eclipse Development Environment

Prerequisites

You will have to successfully obtain the dcm4jboss-all collection of dcm4chee modules from CVS:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@dcm4che.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/dcm4che login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@dcm4che.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/dcm4che co -P dcm4jboss-all

Once you have done that, you need to build the software. At this point you're ready to start setting things up Eclipse.

Importing dcm4chee projects into Eclipse

Workspace Notes

It is recommended that you have an Eclipse workspace dedicated to dcm4che, since dcm4che may have different JVM and code formatting settings, as well as different classpath variables than your other projects.

Assuming you are starting with a clean workspace, import the code formatting settings from this wiki. Download the Eclipse settings (java-conventions-without-tabs.xml) which are attached to the Coding Standards page. In Eclipse, click on Windows, Preferences, and then navigate to the Java/Code Style/Formatter section. Click on Import, and select the java-conventions-without-tabs.xml file. Click on OK to make these your active formatting settings.

Set up classpath variables

Set up the following classpath variables within Eclipse. Click on Windows, Preferences, and then navigate to the Java/Build Path/Classpath Variables section.

Import the dcm4chee projects

Click on File, Import, select Existing Projects into Workspace, and then click Next. With the "Select root directory" radio button selected, click on Browse, and then navigate to your dcm4jboss-all directory. Select this directory, and click OK. You should see the list box populated with the nine core dcm4chee projects. Click on the Finish button.

Adding the dcm4che2/dcm4chee audit modules (do we need this, or should the dcm4chee modules reference the dcm4che-audit jar file?)

Running dcm4chee from within Eclipse

Option 1: Remote debugging of a local installation

Option 2: Launch dcm4chee from within Eclipse
