Prerequisite:

• Maven plugin

1. File > Project from Version Control > Git
2. Enter Git repository URL: https://github.com/jflex-de/jflex.git
3. Run action Reimport All Maven Projects

mkdir workspace_jflex

cd workspace_jflex

It's important to

• Have a jflex in a subdirectory of your workspace, otherwise Eclipse won't be able to load the parent POM
• Name the cloned directory with a different name than "jflex" otherwise the m2e plugin will get confused between jflex and jflex/jflex

1. Start Eclipse and select workspace_jflex as your workspace.
2. Select File > Import > Maven > Existing Maven projects.
3. Select jflex-parent as the root. Confirm with Import.

1. Execute Run as > Maven Build
2. Open Properties for jflex
3. In Java Build Path

• select Source tab, Add Folder… and add jflex/target/generated-sources/jflex.
• select Librairies tab, Add JARs and add jflex/lib/java-cup-11b.jar
