IDE setup for kettle

[Buck]

Hello everyone.

I'm a new Java/Kettle developer, and I would like to know which IDE to
set up, and how to do it productively. I'm currently using NetBeans,
and while I like the IDE itself, kettle doesn't seem set up for it.

To break it down:
1) Which IDE to you use?
2) How do you import the svn sources?
3) How do you get a quick edit/compile/test development cycle out of
it?

I'm happy to read a wiki or other article, if it exists.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Buck,

I think most if not all developers at Pentaho use Eclipse for development.
With NetBeans being in a tough spot I guess that's not going to change any
time soon.
So 1) Eclipse.
For 2) there are multiple options. If you download the source code you can
extract it in a folder somewhere and simply import that folder in Eclipse.
That's all. The other option is to import the project from svn. Use this
address: http://source.pentaho.org/svnkettleroot/Kettle/ Then select one
of the branches or trunk.
3) Eclipse supports incremental or in-line compilation so you can actually
change the source code while running Spoon.

Good luck!

Matt

Thanks Matt.

I'm starting to suspect there's more than one of you, you reply so
quickly!

To be clear: this implies there's an eclipse project file checked-in
to svn?

The others are not me, they're Matt-Bots.

I don't know...
You could have scripted that.

For posterity, here's an easy way to get kettle running under
Netbeans.
I've tried both and it seems faster and more intuitive.


This will add nbproject directory and an nb-build.xml file to the top-
level directory.

File -> Import Project -> Eclipse Project
Import Project ignoring Project Dependencies
Project to import:
/home/username/code/pdi-ce-src-4.1.3-fromsvn
(the directory created by 'svn co')
Destination folder:
/home/username/code
(the parent of the svn directory)

Need to udpate libswt to match your platform:
right-click "Libraries"
Properties
remove libswt/win32/swt.jar
Add Jar
libswt/linux/x86_64/swt.jar

The first time you run, choose org.pentaho.di.ui.spoon.Spoon as your
main class.
