We'll give a small walkthrough on how to setup your Eclipse in order to run and develop Pokemonium!

Import project

First step is to import the projects into Eclipse. Go to File -> Import... -> Existing Projects Into Workspace and select the repository root folder.

You'll see 3 projects lister there: * PokemoniumClient * PokemoniumServer * PokemoniumUpdater

Import all 3 projects into the workspace by selecting them and select Finish.

You should see the 3 projects in your Package Explorer now.

After you've done this, you should be set and the projects will compile + run fine!

Code Standard

It is important that nobody changes the formatting of the source code, so it's important that everyone uses the same formatting.

There is a small walkthrough on how to do this here.

Browsing the Database

In order for development to be easier you should have a visual browser for the database. We prefer to use Navicat for MySQL for this. There used to be a lite version but it is not available anymore. You can use any other you prefer as well though.

Running local Database

Download MySQL Server Load the database through the sql file located in pokemonium/Miscellaneous/Database/Database.sql

Now change your server settings to connect to your local database (localhost or the ip/url of it's location) and connect to your own server as usual.
