How to add new target environment in eclipse che?


I'm trying to add a target environment using Eclipse Che on Codenvy. After choosing "Edit Targets...", it shows me a dialog box containing the instruction Press the '+' button to create a new target, but I see no '+' buttons to press. Is this a bug or have I missed something to get it to populate the list of target environments?

Solution

  • Codenvy's hosted offering at beta.codenvy.com is based on Eclipse Che so you'll see some references to Che documentation below.

    Adding a target is used to add a physical device (like an IoT board) to Eclipse Che. The fact that there's no "+" is a bug and I've added it here (https://github.com/codenvy/codenvy/issues/646) - thanks for calling this out. BTW, you can interact with engineers on our GitHub repos:

    However, if you're trying to build/run your project in the runtime then you'll need to create a command (https://eclipse-che.readme.io/docs/commands).

    Or, if you're trying to create a custom runtime then take a look at (https://eclipse-che.readme.io/docs/recipes).
