Building Astro

Clone this repository:

Setting up Eclipse workspace

Build Astro (see above)

Generate Eclipse projects

./gradlew eclipse

Download latest version of Eclipse (http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/)

Many classes of Astro are written in Xtend (https://www.eclipse.org/xtend/). Xtend adds syntactic sugar on top of Java. Install Xtend Eclipse plugins http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/tmf/xtext/updates/composite/releases/

Add local repository to Eclipse (that you have already cloned before) and import existing projects (that you have already generated with gradle before): http://wiki.eclipse.org/EGit/User_Guide#Cloning_or_adding_Repositories
