Hello, I have been trying to hook up the ES source in Eclipse IDE. But I cannot figure out how to create the classpath entries for the sources that have been transformed with respect to packages names. E.g the logging frameworks etc. The jarjar jar I have created and that fulfills most of the dependencies, but not all. I still have like 3500 errors due to missing classes. Where and how are those external classes "transformed" into org.elasticsearch? I have spent numrous hours to try figure that out but it eludes me... Compiling it all with gradle works nicely, but that is not what I want to do as I am digging around in the code figuring out how things work (in order to customize some things for Swedish use). -- Med vänlig hälsning Kristian Jörg Devo IT AB Tel: 054 - 22 14 58, 0709 - 15 83 42 E-post: kristian.jorg@devo.se Webb: [http://www.devo.se](http://www.devo.se) ---

Hi, why don't you try IntelliJ IDEA instead? Its community edition should allow you to explore the code very easily. Check here for some older wiki page about how to setup the code in IDEA > **[GitHub - elastic/elasticsearch: Free and Open, Distributed, RESTful Search...](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch)** > > Free and Open, Distributed, RESTful Search Engine.

``` Yes, it's a way to go. Unfortunately the page you link to is down now. I read it briefly two days ago, and has already forgotten... I have been using Eclipse for the last 5 years or so and would rellay not like to learn another tool though. What I need for getting eclipse on its feet though is to create those classes with transformed names like the logging frameworkes etc. Is there some way to create them in a temp/build or jar file somewhere. It is a mysteru for me where they actually hook up with the build. Is it a gradle built-in function or is it something external? The files that end up in the jarjar jar I have found. Where are the rest? Lukáš Vlček skrev 2011-02-04 15:09:

``` Hi again, and sorry for all confusion on my part. I did succed to compile eventually on Eclipse. The "transformed" classes that I was speaking of was just a confused interpretation of some other problem. After I reopened the project in Eclipse and did a full rebuild I got the code to build with no problems. So far only the main project, but the others should be no problem. Also running ES worked fine inside Eclipse. Well, the one thing I miss in Eclipse is support for sub modules in the same project, which it seems IDEA has. That may be the ONLY thing that may force me from my beloved Eclipse. Maven support is heavily dependent on sub modules, and the support in Eclipse to try to cover this is clumsy at best. But it works... I also got it running in IDEA. Thanks for all help! /Kristian Lukáš Vlček skrev 2011-02-08 12:51:
