How to Setup Eclipse for your 131B Project (Rev. 2.3 - Windows fix at bottom)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are two basic ways in which you can go about working on your complier
project this quarter.  First is the tried and true, your favorite editor and
make.  Second, for your enjoyment Eclipse has been installed on ieng9.
Eclipse is a nice IDE (Integrated Development Environment) written in Java.
The rest of this document is a straightforward method to get the starter code
up and running with Eclipse.  Eclipse is also available for Linux and Windows.
As of the writing of this document the project doesn't currently build under
Windows(works now. see note at bottom of file).  If a solution is found notice
will be posted to the web board.  If *you* find a solution, please let us
know.  To start Eclipse from your ACS account, after preping cs131f, simply
type 'prep eclipse' on your terminal.  This *starts* Eclipse.

Start by untar-ing the project.
Then from the File menu select New -> Project
Type of project 'Java' then 'Ok'

Then enter your "Project name", for example, "cse131b"
Then click Finish.

After clicking the Finish button you will get a window to Confirm Perspective
Switch to Java Project.

Now to import the project, select Import from the File menu.
Then enter the path to your freshly untared starter code in the 'From Dir:' 
box.
And select the folder to import into, 'Into Folder:' e.g., cse131b
and then select 'Finish'

Now you can build the project for the first time.  Right click on Project
(cse131b), select 'Properties', then 'External Build Tools', then select 'Java
Builder' from the menu and click 'New', 'Ant Build' should be selected.
If not, select it and click 'Ok'.  For the 'Location:' field select
'Browse Workspace' then click on your folder and you should see 'build.xml'
in the right window, select it.  For 'Base Directory:' again select
'Browse Workspace'  and select your project folder, then 'Ok' and 'Ok' again.

Now for the first build(windows users see note first) right click 'Default
package', then select 'package->Refresh' Then from the menu select 'Project'
and finally 'Rebuild Project'  and the project should  begin to build.  In the
'Console' you should see the results from the ant build.  It should be error
free; if not, try refreshing and rebuilding again.  It usually takes two
builds on a fresh install If that still fails go into the directory and run
the make file.


Windows note:
One more step to get the project to build under windows.
go to Window -> Preferences
Expand 'Ant' and select Runtime
choose 'Add Jars...' on the 'Classpath' tab
select the 'tools.jar' file located in path_to_where_you_installed_java/lib
