Burrokeet Aplication Installation

Burrokeet is a very early stage project, as such it is changing in structure and approach fairly rapidly. We endeavour to keep this document up to date, but it may well slip from time to time.

If you have any problems installing Burrokeet please be sure to contact the devs via our mailing list, we will be only too happy to help (and update this doc to reflect your experiences).

To work with Burrokeet you will need the following installed on your machine:

• Java 1.4
• Apache Forrest - we work with the latest development version so you will need to check it out from SVN or use one of the SVN snapshots.

Simply download the binary package, unzip it into your chosen directory and run it by clicking on the burrokeet executable in the root directory.

pre-requisites

If you want to work the the latest and greatest Burrokeet from our CVS you will need to satisfy the following additional requriements:

• Eclipse 3.0 (3.1 Milestone releases not supported)
• IBM Web Tools Contributoin for Eclipse
  Note

  IBM Web Tools has a number of its own dependencies, be sure to install those too.

Getting Burrokeet Sources

You will need to checkout a number of modules from CVS using Eclipse's "Checkout As Project" facility. That is, for each of the modules listed below you need to do the following:

1. "File->New->Project"
2. select the CVS->Checkout Projects from CVS
3. the first time you run the checkout wizard you will need to create a new epository location, on subsequent checkouts you can use the same one. To set up the repository location use the following values:
   • Host: cvs.sourceforge.net
   • Repository path: /cvsroot/burrokeet
   • User: anonymous
   • Password: [no password entered, keep the password blank]

The modules you must chaeckout are:

• burrokeetplugin
• org.burrokeet.contentPackage.scorm
• org.burrokeet.contentPackage.scorm.edit
• org.burrokeet.contentPackage.scorm.editor
• repositoryData [optional]

Import Forrest Eclipse Plugin

Next you need to import the Forrest Eclipse plugin from your Forrest installtion:

1. File -> Import
2. select "Existing Project into Workspace"
3. Click browse and navigate to "FORREST_HOME/tools/eclipse"
4. Click Finish

Running Burrokeet from Within Eclipse

The burrokeetPlugin provides a set of run configurationss, for your first run use the Run -> Run... -> "Dist Burrokeet RCP".

Unfortunately there is very little documentation for Burrokeet at this very early stage. You might want to look at the How To in the documentation section, we are sure you will also want to ask questions on the mailing list, see you there :-)
