How to use Eclipse UOMo (Units of Measurement) in standalone project?

576 Views Asked by At

I'm trying to use the UOMo java library in eclipse: http://www.eclipse.org/uomo

I've installed it correctly (or at least I believe I have) via Help -> Install New Software..., dropped the repository link in, went through it all, was prompted to restart eclipse after installing the software.

My problem is I have no idea how to use it. I've created a project and had a good dig around in the build path config. I can't find how to include UOMoin the project (obviously not doing is preventing my code compiling).

Just to be clear; I have read the tutorial, but it is based around the project being a plugin project. I'm integrating it into a pre existing code base which isn't plugin based, and I don't really know enough about plugin projects to happily convert.

As a second, more broader question; how can I learn more about how developers share their code through repositories? I always feel confused and a bit overwhelmed with eclipse as it seems to have a lot of way of including code. Up until now I've been downloading jars and including them directly. Sorry I understand this question is a bit more fluffy, but I feel like I don't have a grasp on the basic methods of using repositories to include 3rd party code.
