Starting

JNode contains several Eclipse projects within a single SVN module. To checkout and import these projects into Eclipse, execute the following steps:

   Look at the sourceforge SVN page for more details.
2. Start Eclipse
3. Select File - Import. You wil get this screen.

   

4. Select "Existing project into workspace".
5. Enter the root directory of the imported jnode CVS module in this screen.

   

   The listed projects will appear when the root directory has been selected.

6. Select Finish
7. You will end up with all projects into your Eclipse workspace like this:

   

Building

You can build JNode within Eclipse by using the build.xml Ant file found in the JNode-All project. However, due to the memory requirements of the build process, it is better to run the build from the commandline using build.bat (on windows) or build.sh (on unix).
