Eclipse update site of SugarJ

You have found the Eclipse update site of SugarJ. Copy this URL into the Eclipse software installer: http://update.sugarj.org.

Installation

Please ensure enough stack space (about 4-16 MB) is available for the SDF parser. You can set the stack space of your Java runtime using the -Xss16m command line argument when starting Eclipse or setting -Xss16m in your eclipse.ini file.

  1. Install Eclipse (follow instructions on eclipse.org).
  2. Start Eclipse.
  3. In Eclipse, select 'Install New Software' in the 'Help' menu.
  4. In the 'work with' field, copy the SugarJ update site http://update.sugarj.org and hit enter.
  5. Be sure to deselect the 'Group items by category' checkbox on the bottom of the window.
  6. The update dialog will let you select any number of our currently supported host languages: Java (*.sugj), Haskell (*.shs), Prolog (*.sugp).

Setting up a SugarJ project

We have not fully worked out an Eclipse wizzard to help you create a SugarJ project. For the meantime, please follow these three steps:
  1. Create a new Java project.
  2. As for now, we need to register the SugarJ builder for this project by hand: Open your project's '.project' file in any text editor and replace the Java build command by the following code:
    <buildCommand>
      <name>org.sugarj.editor.SugarJBuilder</name>
      <arguments></arguments>
    </buildCommand>
  3. We're ready to go. Note: SugarJ source files must have the file extension ".sugj".

Existing case studies

A great way of getting to know SugarJ is to look at existing case studies. We made all of our case studies available online as open source. You can find them in our github repository.
