Nodeclipse CLI installer
Nodeclipse CLI installer is for installing/updating plugins into Eclipse/Enide Studio. It is much quicker way when you need to automate and know exactly what you need. Limitation:
- no dependencies resolution.
- only for eclipse in current folder
nodeclipse -h install
Nodeclipse CLI Installer
nodeclipse help
nodeclipse help aliases
Usage (from folder with eclipse):
nodeclipse list [<repository>]
repository may be name (nodeclipse, kepler, luna) or URL (http of file)
Repositories names(12): dev nodeclipse-updates enide-repository indigo juno 4.3 kepler 4.4 luna 4.5 mars current
default repositoryURL is http://www.nodeclipse.org/updates/
<repository> may be file e.g. jar:file:/D:/path/to/org.nodeclipse.site-0.10.0-SNAPSHOT.zip!/
nodeclipse install <alias|exact.feature.name.feature.group> [...]
nodeclipse install from <repository> <alias|exact.feature.name.feature.group> [...]
nodeclipse uninstall <alias|exact.feature.name.feature.group> [...]
nodeclipse update [from <repository>] <alias|exact.feature.name.feature.group> [...]
nodeclipse install all from <repository> // BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR
nodeclipse materialize [from <repository>] to <folder>
nodeclipse materialize from <repository> [for <environemt>] to <folder>
Environment names(5): linux32 linux64 win32 win64 macosx
Plugin aliases(25): egit git gfm gradle hudson icons jjs jshint jsdt less markdown maven mongodb mongodb.shell moonrise nodejs pde-tools phantomjs pluginslist restclient shelled startexpl
orer themes wikitext yaml
Examples:
nodeclipse install nodejs from nodeclipse,kepler
nodeclipse install egit
nodeclipse install markdown wikitext yaml
nodeclipse install from enide less
nodeclipse update jshint
nodeclipse materialize from luna to D:/Progs/EclipseLuna1/
cd path/to/eclipse
nodeclipse install markdown
or if you are in a hurry
cd path/to/eclipse && nodeclipse i gfm markdown startexplorer
If while installing you get errors, that you don't know how to solve, use Eclipse GUI or raise an issue.
Usage: nodeclipse install [aliases] Mapped aliases: egit git gfm gradle icons jjs markdown mongodb mongodb.shell moonrise nodejs phantomjs pluginslist restclient shelled startexplorer
Issues:
- When updating, I noticed that Eclipse once reported conflict when installing 'nodejs', but was OK for second try.
- Cannot resolute to install required JSDT for Nodeclipse nodejs. Install JSDT version specific for your Eclipse version using Eclipse GUI.
Eclipse Workspace and Project
Eclipse Workspace is just folder that contains Eclipse Projects.
Eclipse Projects is just folder with .project
file.
Developing Nodeclipse CLI
Project sources are at https://github.com/Nodeclipse/nodeclipse-1 under https://github.com/Nodeclipse/nodeclipse-1/tree/master/org.nodeclipse.ui/templates
https://npmjs.org/doc/developers.html
Hint before publishing
- try with
npm install . -g
- check that nodeclipse.js (inside
bin
folder) line ending is UNIX style (#101)
#4341 common-templates/.gitignore
becomes common-templates/.npmignore
Links
The only feature that differentiates a command-line program from a library is the bin field in the package.json file.

Ideas and TODOs
android-application Eclipse files for Android App (that can be create with
`android create project -p AppPAKTGV -a MainAcivity -k com.example.apppaktgv -t android-19 -g -v 0.12.+`)
android-library Eclipse files for Android Library
$ nodeclipse -h
Usage: nodeclipse [directory] [arguments]
-f, --force force on non-empty directory (by default existing files are not updated)
-pg as general project
-pn as Nodeclipse Node.js project (default)
-t, --template <template> use/copy specified template when creating project (see also `git init`)
--gitclone <repository> call git clone [directory]
--js2njs (renamejs)
--njs2js
TODO Examples:
git clone repository directory
nodeclipse directory -pg
nodeclipse directory -pg --gitclone repository
nodeclipse --gitclone repository directory -pg (bad?)
Dream - I wish I could get current project in GitHub as project in Eclipse with 1 click. options are:
- eclipse wizards accessible with icon, where I only need to git repository URL
- add link on Wizard Page
- options to refine .jshintrc
