Overview

Primitive JSwat 2.40 integration for emacs-eclim.

emacs-eclim doesn’t provide any debugger support.

Notes

• Only JSwat 2.40 is supported. Newer versions of JSwat seem to use NetBeans RCP platform and there doesn’t seem to be a way to pass commands to JSwat from a shell invocation.
• Breakpoints can only be set within JSwat.
• The only thing that this plugin does is the following:
  • Setup the classpath for JSwat.
  • Setup the source path for JSwat (From the Eclipse .classpath project file).
  • Setup the main class to run.
  • Setup the file to edit upon when JSwat is launched.

Installation

El-get

Add the following to your el-get-sources.

(:name eclim-jswat :type github :pkgname "yveszoundi/eclim-jswat")

Cask

Add the following to your Cask file.

(depends-on "eclim-jswat" :git "https://github.com/yveszoundi/eclim-jswat")

Manual

Download eclim-jswat.el and add it to a folder within your Emacs load-path. See for reference the relevant Emacs Manual page for details.

Usage

Pre-requisites

You must set the main class of the eclim managed project. The preference variable is org.eclim.java.run.mainclass.

I use the following function to achieve it:

(defun ers-eclim-project-set-as-main-class ()
      (interactive)
      (if (not (string= major-mode "java-mode"))
          (message "Sorry cannot run current buffer."))
      (compile (concat eclim-executable
                       " -command project_setting"
                       " -p " eclim--project-name
                       " -s " "org.eclim.java.run.mainclass"
                      " -v " (eclim-package-and-class))))

Running the command

Add the following to your Emacs init file and replace the value of eclim-jswat-path with the location of your JSwat 2.0 installation.

(eval-after-load "eclim-jswat"
(progn
 (require 'eclim-jswat)
   '(setq eclim-jswat-path (expand-file-name "~/Downloads/jswat-2.40"))))

You should now be able to run jswat via M-x eclim-jswat-run. You can bind it to a keystroke of your liking for convenience.
