- Syntax Highlighting
- Source Code Formatting
- Auto Completion
- Code Refactoring
- Running and debugging of Haxe Eval programs
- Display project dependencies in project outline
If you don't have Eclipse installed you can install Haxe Studio - a custom Eclipse distribution - which has this plugin preinstalled.
To install Haxe4E into an existing Eclipse installation do:
- Within Eclipse go to: Help -> Install New Software...
- Enter the following update site URL: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/haxe4e/haxe4e/updatesite
- Select the
Haxe4Efeature to install. - Ensure that the option
Contact all update sites during install to find required softwareis enabled. - Click
Nexttwice. - Read/accept the license terms and click
Finish. - Eclipse will now download the necessary files in the background.
- When the download has finished, Eclipse will ask about installing unsigned content. You need to accept if you want to
- After installation you will be prompted for a restart of Eclipse, which is recommended.
To ensure reproducible builds, this Maven project inherits from the vegardit-maven-parent project, which declares fixed versions and sensible default settings for all official Maven plugins.
The project also uses the maven-toolchains-plugin, which decouples the JDK used to execute Maven and its plugins from the target JDK used for compilation and unit testing. This ensures full binary compatibility of the compiled artifacts with the runtime library of the required target JDK.
To build the project, follow these steps:
-
Install a Java 17 JDK
Download and install a Java 17 SDK, e.g. from:
-
Configure Maven Toolchains
In your user home directory, create the file
.m2/toolchains.xmlwith the following content:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF8"?> <toolchains xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/TOOLCHAINS/1.1.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/TOOLCHAINS/1.1.0 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/toolchains-1.1.0.xsd"> <toolchain> <type>jdk</type> <provides> <version>17</version> <vendor>default</vendor> </provides> <configuration> <jdkHome>[PATH_TO_YOUR_JDK_17]</jdkHome> </configuration> </toolchain> </toolchains>
Replace
[PATH_TO_YOUR_JDK_17]with the path to your JDK installation. -
Clone the Repository
git clone https://github.com/haxe4e/haxe4e.git
-
Build the Project
Run
mvnw clean verifyin the project root directory. This will execute compilation, unit testing, integration testing, and packaging of all artifacts.
