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.
Contents
Creating a Project for your Robots
First, select File->New->Project in the menu.
In the New Project dialog, select Java Project then click Next.
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!
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:
Browse to the robocode directory, select robocode.jar then click the Open.
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. :-)
