Working with Wonder source in Eclipse

Introduction

To work with Wonder source in Eclipse we import, without copying, the source projects from the Wonder source tree we downloaded in an earlier tutorial. By doing so, we make sure our workspace Wonder source projects are the same source as what we have used for our build and install.

Prerequisites

Wonder source tree is checked out from source control: Download Wonder Source, Build, Install and Upgrade

Importing Wonder Projects into Eclipse

First right-click in Package Explorer and select Import... from the context menu

Select "Existing Projects into Workspace" as the import source

Click Browse... to select the root directory containing the projects

Navigate to and select ../Wonder/Common/Frameworks and click Choose

The list of projects inside that folder appear checked. Turn OFF the "Copy Projects into Workspace" checkbox and uncheck the projects you don't want and click Finish

Eclipse will build the projects and you can now browse, inspect and use Wonder source in Eclipse

Note that the Wonder source tree has other folders with projects too, so for example if you want the ExcelGenerator framework, just repeat the above import process and select the folder containing the ExcelGenerator framework project as show below
