NeOn Toolkit Sources

The sources of the NeOn toolkit are hosted on SourceForge. Please visit Plugin_HowTo for more information. To check out into Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo, recommended is the Plugin edition), use https://neon-toolkit.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/neon-toolkit with Subclipse, select all sub-projects, right-click Checkout and select As Projects. Subclipse then creates a separate project for each sub-project.

The sources of the Plugins are either hosted at the central Google Code repository, or at individual partners' repositories. We are working on consolidating the plugin code and put at least a link to the repository into the plugin page.

The plugin SVN repository URL is http://neon-plugins.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/. Commit via https://neon-plugins.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/. More info at Google Code.

More Developer Resources

• For conceptual, high-level plugin integration (eg. using the Kali-ma plugin), it is advisable that developers provide a description of their plugin's mechanics and purposes in OWL. The CODO-o-matic form can assist developers in building a minimal description.
