Hey everyone,

 

I didn't found out if there is already a topic about my topic, sorry. If so please just send me the link otherwise please help me to solve my problem!

 

My problem is the following: I want to start to program a plugin for the moodle system. Therefore I need eclipse because I think it's easier for the descriptions in here.

So I downloaded the version behind the link and got eclipse Version: Helios Release
Build id: 20100617-1415.

Now I tried to follow the description of behind this link (http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Setting_up_Eclipse#Setting_the_preferences_for_Moodle_development) but it seems to me that everything in there is to old?!

I can't find a lot of the things are mentioned in there. How can I change all the setting peferences right? Please can someone explain me how to set up all preferences right? I want to started. Honestly I would like to start this second but it seems as I'm to stupid to find the right configurations by myself.

Please help!

True, that page is now out-of-date. 

I am not going to have time to update it, but perhaps someone else will. If you are just writing code for your own use, none of that is critical.

https://github.com/timhunt/moodle-local_codechecker/ is worth a look, if you want to learn the Moodle coding guidelines. Correct Eclipse config can help, but is not a substitute for knowing what you are doing.
