Running brackets

Currently Brackets with Crosswalk works only on Linux. We'll need three separate parts:

• Crosswalk. This is our application that runs web content.

• Brackets. Repository with HTML/JS files that implement the Brackets editor. We are using cmarcelo/test branch, because we need some modifications that are not available upstream.

• Brackets-Crosswalk. The external extension that adds features to Crosswalk so Brackets can run.

Steps

1. If you do not have a Crosswalk binary, Follow the regular steps to build Crosswalk. The remaining instructions will assume that Crosswalk base directory is ~/dev/crosswalk. That directory should contain an src subdirectory, and inside src, there's a xwalk directory. At this point there must be a ~/dev/crosswalk/src/out/Release/xwalk executable

2. cd ~/dev

3. git clone [email protected]:cmarcelo/brackets.git

4. cd brackets

5. git checkout -b test origin/test

6. git submodule update --init

7. cd ~/dev

8. git clone [email protected]:otcshare/brackets-crosswalk.git

9. cd brackets-crosswalk

10. make

11. There should be a ~/dev/brackets-crosswalk/brackets.so file after make runs.

12. ./run-brackets.sh PATH_TO_XWALK_EXECUTABLE ~/dev/brackets

Note that not all features are working at the moment. It should be possible to see dialogs (Open File, Open Folder, Save As, etc) with native look and feel.
