Red5 Pro Eclipse Setup

Setting up Eclipse IDE for Red5 Pro Development

The following steps describe how to setup a new project in the Eclipse IDE that will be runnable under the Red5 Pro Server.

Requirements

The following are required to setup the Red5 Pro Server and to follow along with this example:

As of release 9.0.0, the Red5 Pro server requires Java 11. Install Java JDK if not already installed on your machine.

Eclipse IDE

For the examples, we will be demonstrating how to set up the project in the Eclipse IDE. The steps for setup should be transferrable to the IDE of your choice, as it is the code and method of deployment that we will be more focused on.

Eclipse Workspace Setup

  1. Open the Eclipse IDE into a new workspace •  For the purposes of this example, the new workspace directory will be /Users/red5pro-user/red5prolive
  2. From the main menu, select the File > New > Java Project (may need to choose Other to find this option) Red5 Pro Application

Next Steps

With the dependencies from the libraries distributed with the Red5 Pro Server properly defined for your project, you can begin developing custom applications to be run under Red5 Pro.
