How to setup an eclipse development environment.

Download eclipse for java from here (Juno http://eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-developers/junosr2)

Run eclipse

Install Maven

enter the URL: http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases
install Maven

Next fork this project using GitHub so you can checkin your changes

Next checkout the repo from github using git (from the command line)

git clone [email protected]:richcole/Game.git

into your favorite directory.

Next say File/New Project/Import Existing Maven Project and choose the git directory where you clone Game

Right click on the project and select Maven/Update Project

Right click on the project and say Run As/Java Program

select game.Main as the main class

The game should start.

if the game didn’t start then maybe something is wrong. There should be shared libraries in target/natives directory. This was made during the maven build process. They should be on the classpath which is available from project properties in the build path panel under the third subpanel on the native libraries portion of maven depedencies.
