Setup Eclipse
Before The following video demonstates how Zong! can be imported into Eclipse, please make sure the following requirements are met.
...
Setup the workspace
After Zong! was downloaded, it can be opened in the Eclipse IDE. This section describes the steps for getting Zong! up and running.
...
Import the projects
Zong! consists of many subprojects, called modules. These have to be imported once.
Choose "File → Import...". In the following dialog, select "General → Existing Projects into Workspace" and click on "Next >".

Download or update the external libraries
As you will notice, Zong! is still not ready for compiling. A lot of errors appear in the Problems view of Eclipse. We need to download some external libraries, which are not part of the git repository (since we do not want to store large binary files there, to keep the repository small). Downloading or updating the libraries is easy: Just right click the Ant script file lib.update.xml in the lib project, then select "Run As → Ant Build". All required libraries will be downloaded.
| Tip |
|---|
Each time when you update (pull) your local repository, and when you get classpath errors when compiling, repeat this step and the later step "Import user libraries". Probably the libraries were changed or updated to newer versions. |

Notice that this step is not needed for building Zong! using the gradle build script. Gradle will download and update the needed libraries automatically. |
...
Import user libraries
At this point we have downloaded the required libraries, but Eclipse does not know them yet. We have to import the so-called "user libraries".
In "Window → Preferences", select "Java → Build Path → User Libraries". The following dialog appears:
...
That's it. Zong! should be compiling now

Run automated tests in Eclipse
Zong! and the Xenoage Utils project contain a lot of unit tests. To run them, simply right click on a project and select "Run As → JUnit Test".
