Total Eclipse of the Apps Script
October 16, 2013
Apps Script
started out as a simple tool to let developers add new features to Google Apps, but it’s grown into a programming platform that thousands of professional coders use every day. We hear a couple common requests from developers when they’re building complex projects with Apps Script: they want a full-featured IDE, and they want to sync to external version-control systems like GitHub.
Today, we’re introducing support for Apps Script in the
Google Plugin for Eclipse
. You can now sync with your existing Apps Script files on Google Drive, edit them in
Eclipse
— offline, if necessary, and with all the benefits of autocomplete — then write your code back to Drive so you can run it in the cloud. Because the plugin stores a copy of each script in a local workspace, you can manage Apps Script projects with your favorite version-control system.
Getting started is easy:
Install Eclipse
, if you don’t already use it. If you already have Eclipse, make sure it’s at least version 3.7 (Indigo) for either Java or Java EE.
In Eclipse, select
Help > Eclipse Marketplace
, then install the Google Plugin for Eclipse (or see our
Getting Started guide
for alternate installation instructions).
Click
Sign in to Google
in the bottom-right corner of Eclipse, then enter your username and password.
Select
File > Import
to transfer your projects into Eclipse. Whenever you’re online, the plugin will automatically sync your local edits with Google Drive.
For step-by-step instructions on installation and use, see the documentation on
using Apps Script with the Google Plugin for Eclipse
.
Just in case you were wondering, the plugin uses the public
Google Drive SDK
to sync Apps Script files between your local file system and Google’s servers. We’ve previously covered the techniques it uses in our
documentation on importing and exporting projects
and the recent episode of Apps Script Crash Course on Google Developers Live below.
