How to use TelegramBots with Eclipse
Step 1: Install Maven
To get started, you need to install the Maven-Plugin for Eclipse. Click on Help > Eclipse Marketplace. After it finished loading, search for “Maven”. Now install “Maven (Java EE) Integration for Eclipse WTP”. You have to restart, after the installation is completed.
Step 2: Download the Project
Now you need to get the project itself. Visit TelegramBots - github.com and choose “Download Zip”, to download the zip-file. Here is a direct link if you are lazy.
Step 3: Create folder
Now let’s setup the project-folder. Go to your Eclipse-Workspace and create a folder (name it whatever you want it to be called). I just named it “TelegramBotApi”. Afterwards copy everything from the zip-file into that folder.
Step 4: Import project
To import your project into the workspace you have to go to File > Import > (Folder) Maven > Existing Maven Projects > Next. Choose the folder, you have created in Step 3. In my case: “TelegramBotApi”. Click on finish and let Maven import the dependencies.
Step 5: Setting the compliance level
In this last step you need to change the Compiler compliance level. To do this right-click on your Project (in my case “TelegramBotApi”) > Properties > Java Compiler. Uncheck the “Use compliance from…” if necessary and set it to 1.7
Now you are done. Everything should work fine. You need to set your Bot-Token in the BotConfig.java, afterwards you can run Main.java to check.
