Modification Help / Setting up TorquEdit with Eclipse
« on: August 31, 2015, 06:03:03 PM »
Does anyone have any idea how I might go about setting up TorquEdit with Eclipse? I found the following links on https://www.garagegames.com/community/forums/viewthread/16491
1. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25535993/torquedit/TorquEDIT.7z
2. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25535993/torquedit/TorquEDIT_0.4.0.jar
3. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25535993/torquedit/TSParser.7z
The source also appears to be available at https://github.com/mixxit/TorquEDIT
However I have no experience using Eclipse and really have no idea what I am doing with these files.
These files don't seem to follow the format that is outlined in this solution: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5482554/how-to-install-plugin-for-eclipse-from-zip
I found an archived website for TorquEdit that indicates that I should just be able to drop the jar file in the plugins folder and that's it: http://web.archive.org/web/20090601072227/http://opensource.kruxgames.com/torquedit/
However, that does not seem to work.
This stackoverflow page indicates that in new versions of eclipse I should create a plugins folder inside the dropins folder and put the jar there, but that doesn't seem to work either: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/926594/installing-a-plain-plugin-jar-in-eclipse-3-5
I can start eclipse fine, but when I look under Help -> Installation Details -> Plug-ins there doesn't seem to be anything related to TorquEdit.
I have tried downloading Eclipse 3.0.1 (the version mentioned on the archived page), but that appears to be available in 32 bit only and I cannot get it to run on my machine.
I have my eclipse configuration file attached if that helps.
