Running Orion in Eclipse 3.0

Written by Joseph Ottinger

Running Orion under Eclipse is pretty easy. Note that I've not tested it exhaustively, so please email me at joeo@enigmastation.com with any of your experiences. All I did to get it to run was create a project, add orion.jar and tools.jar to it, and make sure to run it in Orion's home directory. Voila! Worked like a champ; the default application (and any others) should be fine. Again, I haven't exhaustively run this; this entry was spurred by a bug report filed against Eclipse mentioning a verification error. The error is caused if you add Orion's copy of xerces.jar into the Eclipse project classpath, so you should be able to add whatever you like as long as you avoid this jar.
