Issue with Setting Up OpenELIS in Eclipse

Hello, everyone!

I am new to the OpenELIS organization and looking to contribute as part of my preparation for GSoC 2025. I’ve been following the Dev Environment Setup Instructions, and everything was going smoothly until the step for setting up the project in Eclipse.

I got stuck at Step #5, where I am supposed to add dataexport-core and dataexport-api to the Java Build Path under the Projects tab. However, I cannot add anything at this step, as the “Add” button is disabled or the projects are not detected.

I would appreciate any guidance on what might be causing this issue and how to resolve it. Thanks in advance!

you can use VSCode and try running the docker containers … that way is much easier to set up…
