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 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 https://www.nodeclipse.org/updates/
	       may be file e.g. jar:file:/D:/path/to/org.nodeclipse.site-0.10.0-SNAPSHOT.zip!/
	    nodeclipse install  [...]
	    nodeclipse install from   [...]
	    nodeclipse uninstall  [...]
	    nodeclipse update [from ]  [...]
	    nodeclipse install all from  // BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR
	    nodeclipse materialize [from ] to 
	    nodeclipse materialize from  [for ] to 
	        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

#91

Project sources are at https://github.com/Nodeclipse/nodeclipse-1 under https://github.com/Nodeclipse/nodeclipse-1/tree/master/org.nodeclipse.ui/templates

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.

History

• 0.8.2 fix #101 (bug on MacOS); -g option
• 0.8.3 fix general project template
• 0.10.0 add 2 java templates
• 0.10.5 add Nodeclipse CLI Installer (example nodeclipse install markdown)
• 0.10.6 fix #101 again; total aliases=20
• 0.10.8 add maven, gradle features; install from .zip; install all
• 0.10.9 comma-sep-list of repositories; lookup for repositories.
  Examples: nci install from kepler jsdt
• 0.10.10 uninstall, materialize Examples: nci uninstall mongodb.shell , nci new from luna to d:/progs/eclipse-diy-luna/
• 0.11.0 update command as p2-director needs uninstall then install (example nodeclipse update markdown)
• 0.17
  • add mars and 4.5 repositories
  • add explicitly jshint alias to do nodeclipse update jshint (it is also part of nodejs alias)
• 0.17.1 Android templates are not ready
• 0.17.2 add AngularJS, Color IDE Pack, Nodeclipse EditBox, Emmet, JDT Spelling, JSHint, TCF-Termnals, Zip Editor

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 			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
