# jh\_setupenvironment(1)

Prepares a build environment to compile an eclipse feature.

## NAME

jh\_setupenvironment - Prepares a build environment to compile an eclipse feature.

## SYNOPSIS

**jh\_setupenvironment** \[*debhelper options*\] \[**--pde-build-dir=***dir*\] \[*copy \[...\]*\]

## DESCRIPTION

jh\_setupenvironment is a javahelper program that handles creating an environment for building an eclipse feature. It does not setup an orbit dir (use jh\_generateorbitdir for that). It will copy files specified in debian/eclipse.environment as well as those given on command line into the environment dir. If no files are given per command line and the environment file is not present (or is empty), it will default to "org.eclipse.\*"

## FILES

- debian/eclipse.environment

  List of file- and directory glob patterns to copy into the build environment.

## OPTIONS

- **--pde-build-dir=***dir*

  Specifies where the environment should be or is placed.

- **--clean**

  If passed, jh\_setupenvironment will clean up the build environment. When cleaning jh\_setupenvironment will not record itself in the debhelper log to avoid confusing dh, when it has to use the log to trace where it was.

## EXAMPLE

```
  jh_setupenvironment org.eclipse.* debian/*.properties
```

Will clone all files and folders starting with "org.eclipse." and all property files in the debian-folder and put them into the environment.

## SEE ALSO

[**debhelper**(7)](/debhelper/7.md)

This program is a part of javahelper and uses debhelper as backend. There are also tutorials in /usr/share/doc/javahelper.
