How can I setup Eclipse to develop Griffon applications? - eclipse

Is there any plugin that I can install in Eclipse so as to develop Griffon applications?
Basically, how can I do Griffon application development with Eclipse?

There's no Griffon plugin for Eclipse yet, however you can use the Ant integration to get by. The Guide explains how you can set it up http://griffon.codehaus.org/guide/latest/guide/gettingStarted.html#ideSetup
UPDATE: As of Griffon 2.x there's a different way to setup Eclipse/Maven, see http://griffon-framework.org/tutorials/1_getting_started.html

How to create executable RCP application using Maven

I have a working RCP application. Currently I do "Eclipse Product Export Wizard" for creating executable files from that application. I have already integrated Maven and Tycho in my application.
But I need to create the executable files automatically using Maven.
Can anyone please help regarding this?
Use Tycho maven plugin, its for eclipse packaging. you can follow this website http://modumind.com as a guide. A full fledged tutorial is provided by eclipse.org here https://www.eclipsecon.org/2013/node/1277.html
here is a sample eclipse application with tycho integrated, good place for you to start. http://www.modumind.com/downloads/rcp-example-20121112.zip

IDE for jenkins plugin developement

i am going to create or develop a new jenkins plugin. is WebStorm IDE supports to develop jenkins plugin ?
No. WebStorm is not suitable for developing Jenkins plugins - it supports neither java nor maven. Please try Intellij IDEA (https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Plugin+tutorial#Plugintutorial-IntelliJIDEA)
I would recommend using NetBeans. For the very same reasons which the website has stated.

Can I develop Java servlet using eclipse ADT

I am currently using the Android developer Tools platform to develop android code, downloaded from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html. Now i want to develop Java servlets as well for my server side app and generate the WAR file. As i understand it, I can't use the ADT to develop servlets. Since i think it is basically an Eclipse IDE with the ADT plugin, can i simply install another plugin so that it supports servlet development? If yes, how do i do that exactly? Or do i need to install another eclipse? I am a complete newbie to Eclipse and Java, so please bear with me.
Install the Web Tools Platform. Be sure to find out which version of the Eclipse Platform you're already using first. http://wiki.eclipse.org/WTP_FAQ#How_do_I_install_WTP.3F

Use Eclipse Classic to develop Eclipse RCP application

I've been using Eclipse Classic for developing applications in Java installing plugins as I need. Now I'm thinking to develop an application using Eclipse RCP UI. I've read some tutorials online but they suggest to use Eclipse for RCP/RAP developers.
I've looked at this Eclipse Packages Compare page but I haven't quite figured out why I can't use Eclipse Classic to develop Eclipse RCP applications.
What plugins do I have to install to use Eclipse Classic for Eclipse RCP application development?
There is very little (practical) difference between those two packages. Classic (AKA, Eclipse SDK) includes more source code for the Eclipse bundles themselves, such as JDT and PDE, which can actually be useful when developing your own plugins and RCP apps); RCP/RAP obviously includes RAP, which is critical if you need it but pointless if you don't. RCP also includes EGit (again, nice if you need it) and the XML Tools.
I often start with the SDK (Classic) package and add stuff as I need it. There has even been talk of dropping the RCP package altogether, although it still hangs around.
What plugins do I have to install to use Eclipse Classic for Eclipse RCP application development?
Trust me, you're much better off unziping Eclipse for RCP/RAP developers in a different directory, and using that to develop your RCP application.
You're lucky that adding Eclipse plug-ins to your Eclipse Classic hasn't destroyed your Java development environment.

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.

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.
