IDE
The REDHAWK IDE leverages Java technologies and requires Java 8. The IDE also includes native libraries that allow the IDE to have a look and feel appropriate for the OS. A minimum of 2 GB of RAM is required, but 4 GB+ is recommended.
WARNING: The IDE should no longer be used for code generation. Instead, use the IDE to generate the PRF, SCD, and SPD XML files. Then, run
redhawk-codegen
directly on that SPD file.
To install a stand-alone IDE:
Ensure your system has the appropriate dependencies installed.
On RHEL/CentOS 7:
sudo yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel PackageKit-gtk3-module libcanberra-gtk3 libwebkit2gtk
Download the appropriate archive from the REDHAWK release page on GitHub.
We do not currently plan to release an IDE for REDHAWK 3 and above. As of 2021-Nov, the latest IDE is from version 2.3.0. If necessary, click on the Assets heading to expand the list or archives to show the IDE.
Choose a location and extract the archive:
tar zxf redhawk-ide-<version>-linux.gtk.x86_64.tar.gz
NOTE: Before running the IDE, follow the instructions in section 'Java and JacORB'.
- Start the IDE by running the
eclipse
executable in the eclipse directory.
