steps to setup alfresco 1.3 in eclispse

[srinivasan]

Hi Developers,

I have downloaded the alfresco-sdk1-1.3.0dev.zip file from alfresco website. I imported this project as tomcat project as alfrescodev (name of the project ) in my eclipse. I dropped all the dependent jar files in the build path. I am not getting any build issue. After i running my tomcat  it said, unable to intialize the context.

Could you please clarify one thing.

I need the step by step procedure to set the alfresco project in eclipse 3.1.

and I have few questions. Do i need to create as a java or tomcat project.

did i downloaded the right version of the alfresco source code ?

And i also i need the Subversion Repository Access (SVN) url to download the source code.
i found some url in the development page

Install Subversion and ensure that svn is on the path
Checkout the HEAD of the code stream: svn co   svn://www.alfresco.org/alfresco/HEAD
Keep up to date by issuing the command: svn update

i am not clear on this, please tell me the exact url to download or
steps to download from svn.
Please help me . Thanks in advance.

You can find full instructions here: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Alfresco_SDK

svn co svn://www.alfresco.org/alfresco/HEAD
‍‍‍

is the command you use to checkout the source code (once you have SVN installed). This will pull down all the code to your current directory.

Hi Gavinc,

Thanks for your reply.

I have installed the svn software and checked out the source code thru svn successfully. I followed the instructions from the given below url.

http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Alfresco_SVN_Development_Environment

Initially the build was failed, then i clean and build the source  code thru ant and it build successfully.

I am not getting clear on the following steps of above mentioned url.
Developer Runtime Configuration


Please clarify the 'Developer Runtime Configuration' step

and also please detail the steps to run the alfresco thru Eclipse IDE or what i need to do further to run the alfresco thru development environment.

Thanks in Advance.
