In order to build a Robocode robot in Eclipse, we first have to create a Project to store them in. This page will assist you in setting that up.

Creating a Project for your Robots

First, select File->New->Project in the menu.

Shows how to select a new project from the File menu in Eclipse

In the New Project dialog, select Java Project then click Next.

Shows a dialog for creating a new project by selecting a wizard

Type in a name for your project. I propose that we use the name MyRobots as the name for the new project. When you have written the name of the new project then click Next. But do not click Finish yet!

Shows a dialog for creating a new Java project where the user must type in a name for the new project

Oops! I clicked Finish. What to do?

If you clicked Finish by mistake, you can find the rest of the screens shown by right-clicking on the project named MyRobots, then select Properties, and then select Java Build Path.

New Project

Select the Libraries tab, then click on Add External JARs:

Shows that the "Libraries" tab must be selected and then the "Add External Jars..." on the pane with Java Settings in the New Java Project dialog

Browse to the robocode directory, select robocode.jar then click the Open.

Shows the JAR Selection dialog where the user must select the robocode.jar file and press the "Open" button

The window should now look like this. Make sure robocode.jar is selected.

Now you must select the Javadoc location: (None) under robocode.jar and click Edit...

http://robocode.sourceforge.net/help/ide/newproject5.png

Type in (or browse to) the path for robocode.jar again. Optionally, enter the location of Robocode's Javadocs. The window should now look like this:

http://robocode.sourceforge.net/help/ide/newproject6.png

Click OK, then click Finish to build your project.

Congratulations! Your new project is ready. :-)
