  2. Download the project archive on your local drive.
  3. Open Eclipse.
  4. In the Package Explorer, right-click and select Import.... Choose the General category and select Existing Projects into Workspace. Click Next.
  5. Select the Select archive file radio button, browse to the comp303-m0.zip file you just downloaded, and select it. Under Projects:, the ginrummy-m0 should appear.
  6. Click Finish. The project should now be installed in your workspace.
  7. Expand the tests package and navigate to the BasicTests class. Right-click on the class and select Runs As | JUnit Test. The test results will appear in a new view. You will notice a red bad, indicating a failed test. This is because you need to run the test VM with the assertion checks enabled.
  8. From the main menu, select Run | Open Run Dialog.... In the left pane, under JUnit, select the BasicTests configuration. Then, on the right pane, select the Arguments tab. In the second white box (VM arguments), enter -ea. Select Apply, then Run. The tests should pass.
At this point your environment is all set to go except for setting up your CVS repository. Make sure to read all the code in the project to understand how it works. More details will be provided in class.
