[ros-users] Eclipse projects

[Daniel Stonier]

Oops, the eclipse one was quite simple. It was the gnome-terminal one I was
thinking of - it's a little more difficult to get started with the
appropriate variables exported. If you've only got one ros installation,
then of course you can just export the setup in your .profile and eclipse
will immediately grab the environment variables (you can check by clicking
windows->preferences->build->environment->select - you should be able to see
ROS_ROOT in the list, no need to actually select it, just verify that it is
there).

However if you start to layout out multiple installations (like we do here,
one for each robot), then the following is very convenient as you just set a
different path for each eclipse-ros starter. I usually put this script in my
path and then create new menu items in my gnome/kde/e17.


#!/bin/bash
# This only needed by ubuntu karmic and eclipse ganymede(?), otherwise
comment out
# export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1
source /opt/ros/setup.sh
# Add the full path if eclipse is not in your PATH
exec eclipse
