Please find up to date instructions on the SDK Install Guide.

Overview

The applications listed on BUGnet require that you have the Dragonfly SDK installed on your system. Dragonfly is a plugin for Eclipse that allows you to easily install, edit, and deploy applications for BUG. The instructions below describe how to get your development environment installed on your system. If you have trouble installing eclipse and would like some help, please visit us in our IRC channel.

Install Dragonfly prebundled with Eclipse

You may now install eclipse and Dragonfly in the one step by downloading a zip archive from http://buglabs.net/sdk. Choose the Full Download according to your operating system. Unzip the file to the location of your choice, navigate to the eclipse directory and run it. If you do not have java installed, you will still need to follow the steps below describing how to #Install Java

Install Eclipse Classic

From the Eclipse Website:

Eclipse Classic is the most recent release from the Eclipse top-level project (it is what has traditionally been the main download on this site). It contains what you need to build applications based on Eclipse technology, including integrated development environments (IDE), and rich client applications using the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP). The Eclipse Classic provides superior Java editing with incremental compilation, the Plug-in Development Environment (PDE), complete source code for the Eclipse Platform, and much more.

The BUG SDK requires Eclipse Classic version 3.3

The latest version of Eclipse Classic is 3.3.2 and can be downloaded here.

To install Eclipse:

  1. Download the Eclipse Europa 3.3 Package (.zip, .gz) from the Download page to your desktop.
    ⇒ Note : You will need a copy of the archive file on each environment you are running (e.g., XP, Vista, Linux).
  2. Extract the Eclipse archive file to your computer.
    ⇒ Note : Windows Vista will create the new project folder at Computer/Local Disk/Users/UsersName

For help on using Eclipse Classic, consult Eclipse Classic Help here.
