#Building

Before you start you need to:

* Install the [Android SDK](http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html).
* Create `ANDROID_HOME` environment variable containing the Android SDK install path.
* Ensure you have installed the requried Android dependencies (execute `android update sdk --filter platform-tools,build-tools-21.1.1,android-18,addon-google_apis-google-18,android-10,addon-google_apis-google-10,android-8,addon-google_apis-google-8 --no-ui --force`).
* Install the latest [Maven 3](http://maven.apache.org/download.html) for command line [Tycho](http://tycho.sonatype.org/) support.
* Install the [Maven Android SDK Deployer](https://github.com/mosabua/maven-android-sdk-deployer) and deploy the 4.1 and 4.3 APIs (`mvn install -P 4.3,2.2`).

To build execute the following command from the project folder:

```
$ mvn install
```

###Eclipse Set-up

To configure your development environment please follow these steps:

* Install [Eclipse Luna](http://eclipse.org/downloads).
* Install [Eclipse Plug-in Development Environment.](http://www.eclipse.org/pde/).
* Restart Eclipse.

This project consists of several sub-modules, including:

* Parent POM.
* Core Eclipse plugin.
* Test suite.
* Eclipse feature.
* Various [target definitions](https://wiki.eclipse.org/PDE/Target_Definitions).
* and the update site.

To clone them into your Eclipse workspace follow these steps:

* Clone this git repository into your local workspace.
* In Eclipse select _File_ -> _Import..._ in the menu and then select _Maven_ -> _Existing Maven Projects_.
* Select the `m2e-android` folder you just cloned and select the parent and some of the sub-projects (excluding the targets i.e. `luna`, `mars`, etc., but *including* the `compile` target).
* Click _Finish_.
* This should install some additional m2e extensions if not already installed
* Restart Eclipse when prompted.
* In _Preferences_ -> _Plug-In Development_ -> _Target Platform_ choose `Maven for Android Eclipse` and click _OK_. It may take some time to downloads the dependencies required to compile m2e-android.
