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.

Type in a name for your project, then click next. 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 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...

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:

Click OK, then click Finish to build your project.

Congratulations! Your new project is ready. :-)
