Cloning Kustvakt and Importing Sub projects to Eclipse

The following instructions guide you to clone Kustvakt via Git and import its sub-projects into Eclipse (tested using Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java and Web Developers version 4.19.0).

We will start with cloning the Kustvakt repository using a terminal.

1. Open a terminal and go to your git directory (or create one)

2. Run git clone https://github.com/KorAP/Kustvakt.git

   

Now we are switching to Eclipse.

1. Since Kustvakt is built on Java 8, it is necessary to add the JRE of Java 8 to Eclipse.

   Select Window > Click Preferences

   Under Java, click Installed JREs > Add your JRE of Java 8 > Click Apply and Close

   

2. We are going to import the cloned Kustvakt repository to Eclipse.

   On the top right menu, navigate to File > Click Import

   Under Maven, select Existing Maven Project > Click Next

   

3. Set the Kustvakt project directory as the root directory > Select all sub-projects > Click Finish

   

   Done! The Kustvakt sub-projects has been added to Eclipse.

   

   Notice that the projects still have errors, because it is still necessary to install Lombok and set up the annotation processors for Eclipse.
