Create Jmix project on Eclipse - eclipse

I am new to Jmix platform. I have imported the apache license jmix-all code into eclipse. But I am not sure how i can create a new project from it. I also know it supports a plugin in IntelliJ but my favorite IDE is what i want. Is there a eclipse plugin as well.

There is no support for Eclipse, and there are little chances for it to be added in the future.
The large part of the Jmix (formerly CUBA) ecosystem is the tooling. Jmix team is focusing their efforts to create tooling based on the IntelliJ platform (IntelliJ IDEA).

Generic plugin develop for eclipse IDE and intellij IDEA

I have develop plugin for eclipse IDE and also same plugin develop for IntelliJ IDEA. Is there any way how to develop plugin working for both eclipse IDE and intelliJ IDEA. i want to allows to access the existing projects in the workspace, create new projects and modify and read existing projects. Is there better way like Java parse or Abstract Syntax Tree. can i use?
No, this is not possible. The plugin API of Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA is completely different; you'll need to develop two separate plugins.

source code for eclipse plugin dependencies

I am trying to learn about eclipse plugin development.I downloaded Eclipse IDE for Java EE developers in Helios distribution. I am able to create plugin development project using plugin development wizard. Now the problem is am not able to view the source code of eclipse plugin dependencies.I searched the internet for source attachments, but didn't find it.Any help is appreciated..
If you just want to play around with plug-in development, then you really don't need to integrate the different IDE capabilities, and can probably live with separate Eclipse installations and workspaces.
Actually, the more capabilities/Eclipse editions, you try to integrate, the more limits you set up for other plug-ins/features/capabilities. At some point, it can get impossible to integrate 3rd party capabilities such as those from TaskTop and Atlassian...
If you don't need the Java EE capabilities, consider using either the classic
Eclipse edition or the RCP edition.
For Eclipse plugin development download Eclipse Classic distribution which includes SDK from here.
Eclipse IDE for Java EE description:
Tools for Java developers creating Java EE and Web applications, including a Java IDE, tools for Java EE, JPA, JSF, Mylyn and others.
Eclipse Classic description:
The classic Eclipse download: the Eclipse Platform, Java Development Tools, and Plug-in Development Environment, including source and both user and programmer documentation.
Cheers,
Max
Also, if you want to see the sourcecode of any plugin dependency, you can check it out from CVS at :pserver:anonymous#dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/eclipse
Be careful to get the right version, though.
Cheers,

Eclipse project structure ANT and MAVEN

I am trying to set up a project, but feel completely overwhelmed with lack of knowledge. In university we used netbeans which resolved project structure gently for us. As community leans towards eclipse I am trying to migrate there, but feel myself like a penguin not able to fly. I can't understand project structure where and what has to be added, do I have to define ANT or MAVEN manually in eclipse can they be integrated? Where to go ? Apache manuals are so complicated, why is that I can program in Java , but don't know the fundamentals, soo depressed, please anyone guide me. I find pieces on web, but seems can't build full picture in my head.
You have a couple of options. Basically, eclipse uses a workspace, which contains one .metadata directory used by the plugins and all of the project folders. Projects can then be things like java projects, PDE projects, PHP projects, etc.
There is maven integration in eclipse which I would use, http://www.eclipse.org/m2e/ It was part of Indigo, which released June 2011.
Set up your java projects in your workspace, and then use m2e to mavenize them, or use m2e to generate the java projects into your workspace.
maven provides a facility to create a new project with the required structure based on the type of project (jar, war, etc.).
You can do this or achieve it directly from Eclipse as suggested by Paul Webster, by installing the m2e plugin.
This structure can then be easily built using maven, as well as developed in Eclipse.

Make Custom Project template in Eclipse IDE

I have been using Eclipse IDE for a long time. Its a really great IDE for Java/C/C++ (and other languages with its THOUSANDS of plugins). Every once in a while, I get the need for creating a Javax interface. To do this normally, I would setup the new java project then add what I need. But, wouldn't it be nice if I could just make a template project to automatically include the code for the files. How would I go about doing this? It it even possible? The Eclipse CDT can make a new project type. So can the Google ADT and Google App engine. So I would imagine it is possible. But how?
You must write your Eclipse plug-in that implements org.eclipse.ui.newWizards extension point. You can extend an existing "New Java Project" wizard, and provide your custom project layout implementation (see the API).
Regarding java projects you might be familiar with maven. Maven offers of project template mechanism called archetypes. I never created an own archetype but the explanation to do this (Guide to Creating Archetypes) does not seems to be so complicated.
So although this is not a special eclipse solution it might be helpful for you. Together with the m2eclipse plugin it also works nice together with eclipse.

Drools with Netbeans 6.1

I've downloaded and started to use Drools on a pilot project via it's "default" platform Eclipse. However, I would like to use it in Netbeans just the way plug-in works in Eclipse.
Any ideas/shot-cuts to do that?
There are quite a lot of features in the eclipse plugin, but there is (as yet) no plugin for eclipse.
You can of course use drools with netbeans just fine - just means that the IDE features that are rule specific won't be available, but it will work, its Just Another Library then !
(I use drools with intelliJ IDEA and I just created a little syntax definition to give me basic highlighting etc... but no other features. If I want them, I jump into eclipse).
