I am trying to check out SLF4J-Simple from GitHub which shows the actual source

  • 0

I am trying to check out SLF4J-Simple from GitHub which shows the actual source repository at:

https://github.com/ceki/slf4j.git

I would like to check this directly out of the repo and import it into a new Eclipse project. I do not want to just download the ZIP or get at the source.

I am trying to change some of the slf4j-simple code and repackage it into a different JAR per the instructions on SLF4J’s site.

I’ve never used GitHub before and was wondering what Eclipse plugins were preferential. I currently have Subversive installed for SVN and am quite comfortable with it. Just looking for something that “gets the job done” and will allow full import from the repo. Thanks!

    Egit is the official Eclipse plugin to use, allowing you to define a remote reference to your GitHub project and to pull the repo.

    EGit is now included with the latest Eclipse distributions and/or can be installed through MarketPlace.

    See Vogella’s tutorial “Git with EGit” for an example of GitHub project pulled in your Eclipse workspace.
    Here is an example where you would push, but you get the same kind of parameters to clone or pull a git repo:
