If this works with your device, you are able to start using KIELER to develop applications for the NXT brick.

Download and Configure KIELER

Download and unpack the nightly build of KIELER for your OS. It is available at the Downloads page.

Note: As leJOS only supports 32 bit versions of Java, you will need to download the 32 bit version of KIELER – even if you have a 64 bit operating system! Otherwise flashing the upload brick and uploading to the brick will fail.

The Eclipse plugin for leJOS

There is an Eclipse plugin for leJOS which adds a project creation wizard and launch configuration to the platform.

1. You have to install it via the Eclipse Marketplace (Help > Eclipse Marketplace...).
   OR
2. Install the plugin manually (Help > Install new Software...). Use the following update site
   
   1. for NXT: http://www.lejos.org/tools/eclipse/plugin/nxj/
   2. for EV3: http://www.lejos.org/tools/eclipse/plugin/ev3/

If you have an NXT brick, install the leJOS NXJ Plug-in. If you have an EV3 brick, install the leJOS EV3 plugin.

...

After the installation, the plugin requires a little configuration. Go to Window > Preferences > leJOS NXJ (Window > Preferences > leJOS EV3 respectively) and enter the base directory of your leJOS installation in the NXJ_HOME field.

For the EV3 plugin, the required dialog is under Window > Preferences > leJOS EV3. You have to set the leJOS installation directory. Furthermore the leJOS EV3 plugin requires the IP address to connect to the brick (it may work without, but its safer to directly set the name. Reduces headache ). Check Connect to named brick and enter the IP adress of the brick (displayed on the brick at startup).

Note: To view ftl files with highlighting, you may want to install the FreeMarker IDE feature from the JBoss Tools. However, this is not necessary to work with KIELER. JBoss Tools is available in the Eclipse Market Place and via update site. The update site for Eclipse Mars is http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/mars/stable/updates/ whereas the update site for Eclipse Luna is http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable/luna/ . Note that only the FreeMarker IDE feature is required (Abridged JBoss Tools > FreeMarker IDE).
