== Eclipse for Chimera Development ==

These notes used the Ubuntu 10.04 package for eclipse, which provided:
Eclipse SDK 3.5.2 (Build id: M20100211-1343).  See the 
[http://www.eclipse.org/platform eclipse site] for other downloads.

=== Eclipse Plugins ===

The [http://pydev.org/ PyDev] plugin was installed, using the
Eclipse: Help > Install New Software utility, by adding 
the http://pydev.org/updates site.

For a useful vi emulation in eclipse, 
see [http://www.viplugin.com/viplugin/ viplugin].  An 
alternative is [http://eclim.org/ eclim].

=== Configure !PyDev Preferences ===

First setup the Chimera [http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/trac/chimera/attachment/wiki/ChimeraEclipse/Chimera-Eclispe-PyDev-Preferences.png python2.7 interpreter].  

An optional addition, is to create a VirtualEnv for Chimera and add the pylint package, then configure the [http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/trac/chimera/attachment/wiki/ChimeraEclipse/Chimera-Eclispe-PyDev-Preferences-PyLint.png pylint preferences].
