Please improve these instructions. However, eclipse is a really great +java IDE - once you learn how to use it you won't want to go back to the command-line. + +Prerequisite: You have installed eclipse and a jdk, and pointed eclipse to a workspace. + +- Create a new project from existing source in the folder you unzipped into. (Do not create it in the directory with the +source files.) +- Give the project the same name as the directory you downloaded into +- Change project layout: choose "use project folder as root for source & class files" +- Optionally select a project-specific jre that is the same as makeit.bat uses +- Check "create project from existing source" +- click next +- click the libraries tab +- Click the button to add external jars. Navigate to rxtxlib and select RXTXcomm.jar +- Open "Run Configurations" and make a new run configuration called SimpleSerial. Search for the main class and select +SimpleSerial in the popup. In the arguments tab, type the name of the COM port you're using. +- Run the configuration you just created. You should see the same output in the console pane of eclipse as you saw +in the command prompt window if you followed the README.windows instructions. +- Make a new run configuration called RoombaCommTest, and select RoombaCommTest as the main class, as above. Run it and you +should get the GUI for driving Roomba around. \ No newline at end of file -- cgit v1.3.1
