From 23159d2842fcc64f5d3fc962b292030627b3a1a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Iulian Dragos Date: Wed, 20 Apr 2016 15:58:08 +0200 Subject: Automate Eclipse settings and update project files: (#5091) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit - remove `M2_REPO`. All dependencies are picked up from `build/deps` - add script to update an existing workspace directory with the required path variables - add the default Scala library to several projects for better out-of-the-box experience. This means that changes in the scale-library project may not be visible in the other projects, but makes it way easier to get a working config. If you really need that, you probably know what you’re doing anyway. --- src/eclipse/README.md | 25 ++++++++++++------------- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) (limited to 'src/eclipse/README.md') diff --git a/src/eclipse/README.md b/src/eclipse/README.md index fe2c109402..d541092361 100644 --- a/src/eclipse/README.md +++ b/src/eclipse/README.md @@ -7,21 +7,20 @@ The following points describe how to build Scala using Eclipse. 0.
