Eclipse RCP launcher generator for IDEA

Instructions

• Clone repositories

git clone https://github.com/dbeaver/dbeaver-common 
git clone https://github.com/dbeaver/dbeaver
git clone https://github.com/dbeaver/cloudbeaver
git clone https://github.com/dbeaver/idea-workspace-dbeaver
git clone https://github.com/dbeaver/idea-workspace-cloudbeaver
git clone https://github.com/dbeaver/idea-rcp-launch-config-generator

• Build product with maven (it is needed to generate sources and assemble TypeScript frontend).
  See prerequisites in Build-and-deploy

cd cloudbeaver/deploy
./build.sh

• Download and unpack Eclipse IDE from https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/ (we recommend to use Eclipse for RCP and RAP developers package)
• Launch Eclipse IDE and install all dependencies (use Help->Install new software):
  • https://p2.dev.dbeaver.com/eclipse-repo (DBeaver and CloudBeaver 3rd party deps)
    You can exit Eclipse IDE after that. You won't need it anymore.
• Launch IntelliJ IDEA
• In IntelliJ IDEA set variable ECLIPSE_PATH to the location where Eclipse IDE is installed (Settings->Appearance and Behavior->Path variables).
• Delete legacy jsch plugin from Eclipse installation (to avoid compilation problems in IDEA)

rm <ECLIPSE_PATH>/plugins/com.jcraft.jsch_0.1.*.jar 

• Open IDEA project (e.g. idea-workspace-cloudbeaver)
• Build project (CTRL+F9)
• Execute run configuration Generate CB CE dev props (it will generate RCP config files)
• Execute run configuration Run CB CE (it will launch CloudBeaver CE)

Now you can debug code in IDEA, modify Java classes on fly, etc.
