Java and Eclipse

All of the software we are using is open source (free). I encourage you to download it to install on your own computer.

SimpleMarmosetUploader plugin

Once you have Eclipse installed, you can install the SimpleMarmosetUploader plugin to allow you to submit projects directly from Eclipse.

The plugin requires Eclipse 3.4 (ganymede) or later.

Please be aware that the plugin is somewhat experimental. Let me know if you encounter any problems using it.

Installing the plugin

Choose HelpInstall New Software….

Click the Add… button

In the Location: field, paste the following URL:

http://faculty.ycp.edu/~dhovemey/simpleMarmosetUploader

In the Name: field, enter Simple Marmoset Uploader.

Click OK. In the Install dialog, click on SimpleMarmosetUploaderFeature. Both checkboxes should be checked now.

The dialog should now look like this:

Click Next twice. When prompted, accept the license agreement, then click Finish.

When you see the warning about software that contains unsigned content, click OK.

When prompted, click Restart Now to restart Eclipse. The plugin should now be available.

Using the plugin

When you are ready to submit a project (lab or assignment), there are two ways.

  1. Select the project in the package explorer and then press the blue up arrow button in the toolbar:

  2. Right click on the project and choose Submit project….

If the project has been enabled for submission within Eclipse, you will see a dialog that looks something like the following:

Note: if the project has multiple milestones, the dialog might look like this:

If there are multiple inboxes, you will need to select one.

Enter your Marmoset username and password and click OK. If the submission is successful, you will see a dialog that looks something like this:

Important: you should still log into the submission server using a web browser to verify that your files were received successfully.
