compile Kettle source code

[Bruno]

Hi

I've read in the post [1] from Cesar that he downloaded and compiled
the source code successfully. Could you please provide me information
on the compilation step?

My goal is to use Kettle for automatic customizable mashup creation
processing and therefore modify the basic concept of steps. To do
this, I'd like to compile Kettle in my environment and run the
application in debug mode.

Thanks,
Bruno

Basically the steps to get PDI up and running in Eclipse are:

1) Download and unzip the src bundle (zip file).
2) Eclipse: Import - Import existing projects into Workspace
3) Edit the project Build path (properties). Select the swt.jar file for your platform (default is Windows 32-bit).

After that running Spoon is simply a matter of right clicking on Spoon and selecting "Run as... Java application".
To run Pan/Kitchen please remember to specify arguments in the Eclipse Run dialog.

That's about it.

If you want to compile the project with or without Eclipse, we provide an Ant build file.
Any recent ant version is fine and we make sure it always compiles just fine. (it's a personal priority)

Good luck,

Matt

Unzip the sources... go to the root of the sources and do an "ant" ...
if that works you know you have all components, if that doesn't work
something is wrong. Then post the errors you get.

Second step, make a project in eclipse "from existing source" and it
should practically be automatic... if not, post the errors.

For debugging... a lot of stuff runs in parallel so just stepping
through PDI may be a bit "strange"
And for what you're trying to do "modify the basic concept of
steps"... don't, I wouldn't... you can try of course, but you'll
probably bump into some brick walls along the way. Just e.g. in trying
to keep up with changes, PDI is moving at a pretty fast rate . Use
the stuff for what it's intended for. If you change PDI and hit
something, you'll probably find little or no help... and since you
can't get the standard version compiled.

Regards,
Sven

Hi All,

Let me introduce myself - I've been using Kettle (PDI) at work for a
while and find it very helpful. I've been attempting to fix a few
simple UI bugs in JIRA in my own time for fun - and to see if I could do
it! When you have some time I'd love to get some feedback if my fixes
are any good.

I've checked out Kettle/trunk and have been hacking with that but I'm
not sure if there are any regression tests or such that I should be
running before submitting a patch. I notice KettleTesting and
Kettle-performance but I don't understand how they're supposed to be used.

Phil

Hi Philip!

Thanks for all the JIRA cases and patches. I'll review them later this week. Since I'm essentially a lazy person I'll probably propose to give you SVN access after that ;-)

To run the unit tests, you can either use the ant build targets (tests-core, tests-resource, tests-trans, tests-blackbox, tests-run) or run all the unit tests in Eclipse from the test/ source folder.

Please note that after each SVN commit we run the unit tests regardless on Hudson, our continuous integration server. ( http://ci.pentaho.com/view/Data%20Integration/ )

All the best,
Matt
