How to develop with Eclipse Luna?

Create a workspace

mkdir workspace_jflex

Clone jflex in your workspace

cd workspace_jflex
git clone https://github.com/jflex-de/jflex.git jflex-parent

It's important to

• Have a jflex in a subdirectory of your workspace, otherwise Eclipse won't be able to load the parent POM
• Name the cloned directory with a different name than "jflex" otherwise the m2e plugin will get confused between jflex and jflex/jflex

Start Eclipse and import Jflex

1. Start Eclipse and select workspace_jflex as your workspace.
2. Select File > Import > Maven > Existing Maven projects.
3. Select jflex-parent as the root. Confirm with Import.

Import generated sources

1. Execute Run as > Maven Build
2. Open Properties for jflex
3. In Java Build Path, select Add Folder… and add target/generated-sources/jflex.
