1 IDEGen automatically generates Android IDE configurations for IntelliJ IDEA 2 and Eclipse. Your IDE should be able to compile everything in a reasonable 3 amount of time with no errors. 4 5 If you're using IntelliJ... 6 7 If this is your first time using IDEGen... 8 9 IDEA needs a lot of memory. Add "-Xms748m -Xmx748m" to your VM options 10 in "IDEA_HOME/bin/idea.vmoptions" on Linux or 11 "IntelliJ IDEA.app/Contents/Info.plist" on OS X. 12 13 Create a JDK configuration named "1.5 (No Libraries)" by adding a new 14 JDK like you normally would and then removing all of the jar entries 15 under the "Classpath" tab. This will ensure that you only get access to 16 Android's core libraries and not those from your desktop VM. 17 18 From the project's root directory... 19 20 Repeat these steps after each sync... 21 22 1) make (to produce generated .java source) 23 2) development/tools/idegen/idegen.sh 24 3) Open android.ipr in IntelliJ. If you already have the project open, 25 hit the sync button in IntelliJ, and it will automatically detect the 26 updated configuration. 27 28 If you get unexpected compilation errors from IntelliJ, try running 29 "Build -> Rebuild Project". Sometimes IntelliJ gets confused after the 30 project changes significantly. 31 32 If you're using Eclipse... 33 34 If this is your first time using IDEGen... 35 36 Edit eclipse.ini ("Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse.ini" on OS X) and 37 add "-Xms748m -Xmx748m" to your VM options. 38 39 Configure a JRE named "1.5 (No Libraries)" under "Preferences -> Java -> 40 Installed JREs". Remove all of the jar entries underneath "JRE system 41 libraries". Eclipse will not let you save your configuration unless at 42 least one jar is present, so include a random jar that won't get in the 43 way. 44 45 From the project's root directory... 46 47 Repeat these steps after each sync... 48 49 1) make (to produce generated .java source) 50 2) development/tools/idegen/idegen.sh 51 3) Import the project root directory into your Eclipse workspace. If you 52 already have the project open, simply refresh it (F5). 53 54 Excluding source roots and jars 55 56 IDEGen keeps an exclusion list in the "excluded-paths" file. This file 57 has one regular expression per line that matches paths (relative to the 58 project root) that should be excluded from the IDE configuration. We 59 use Java's regular expression parser (see java.util.regex.Parser). 60 61 You can create your own additional exclusion list by creating an 62 "excluded-paths" file in the project's root directory. For example, you 63 might exclude all apps except the Browser in your IDE configuration with 64 this regular expression: "^packages/apps/(?!Browser)". 65 66 Controlling source root ordering (Eclipse) 67 68 You may want some source roots to come before others in Eclipse. Simply 69 create a file named "path-precedence" in your project's root directory. 70 Each line in the file is a regular expression that matches a source root 71 path (relative to the project's root directory). If a given source root's 72 path matches a regular expression that comes earlier in the file, that 73 source root will come earlier in the generated configuration. If a source 74 root doesn't match any of the expressions in the file, it will come last, 75 so you effectively have an implicit ".*" rule at the end of the file. 76 77 For example, if you want your applications's source root to come first, 78 you might add an expression like "^packages/apps/MyApp/src$" to the top 79 of the "path-precedence" file. To make source roots under ./out come last, 80 add "^(?!out/)" (which matches all paths that don't start with "out/").
