- Download: [Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers](https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/2023-12/R/eclipse-jee-2023-12-R-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz)
- Create an Eclipse directory:
```bash
sudo mkdir /opt/eclipse
sudo chown root:docker /opt/eclipse
```
- Unpack the downloaded file:
```bash
sudo tar xvzf ~/Downloads/eclipse-jee-2023-12-R-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz -C /opt/eclipse
2. Add your accounts to the necessary groups in GitLab.
3. Create a Gitlab Access Token
To authenticate with GitLab, you will need to create a **Personal Access Token**. Follow these steps:
1. Log in to your GitLab account.
2. Navigate to the **User Settings** by clicking on your profile icon in the top-right corner.
3. Under **Access Tokens**, create a new token:
-**Name**: Choose a descriptive name (e.g., `GitLab Access Token`).
-**Scopes**: Select the appropriate scopes. For typical git operations, you will need:
-`api`
-`read_repository`
-`write_repository`
-**Expiration Date**: Set an expiration date (optional but recommended).
4. Click **Create Access Token** and save it securely. **This is the only time the token will be shown**.
4. Configure Git to Use the Access Token
Now that you have the access token, configure git to use it for authentication. Open a terminal and follow these steps:
1.**Cache Git Credentials** (to avoid entering the token multiple times):
```bash
git config --global credential.helper cache
```
This will cache your credentials for a short period of time.
2.**Set your Git Username**:
```bash
git config --global user.name "<your_name>"
```
Replace `<your_name>` with your GitLab username.
3.**Set your Git Email**:
```bash
git config --global user.email "<your_email>"
```
Replace `<your_email>` with the email associated with your GitLab account.
4.**Verify the Git Configuration**:
To check the configuration settings you just applied, use:
```bash
git config -l
```
This command will list all the global configurations for git.
5.**Use the Access Token** for Git Operations:
When you perform a git operation (such as `git clone`, `git pull`, or `git push`) that requires authentication, Git will prompt you for a username and password. Use the following:
-**Username**: Your GitLab username or email.
-**Password**: Paste the Personal Access Token you created earlier.
Git will then authenticate using the access token.
3. Push your results:
- Always pull before pushing:
```bash
git pull
```
- In case of conflicts:
```bash
git merge
```
- Push your changes:
```bash
git push
```
- Push the Docker image:
```bash
docker push <image>
```

## Running the Application
1. Create a directory for the **modta**:
```bash
mkdir ~/modta
cp-R ~/dev/dtabackend/ifc/generic-proxy/ ~/modta
```
2. Set up the environment:
```bash
sudo mkdir /tmp/dta-tests
sudo chown root:docker /tmp/dta-tests
export EGID=$(getent group docker | cut-d: -f3)
cd ~/modta
docker-compose up -d
```
3. Check if the containers are running successfully:
```bash
docker container ls
```
