CodeSkills is a gamification plug-in for the Eclipse IDE. It currently supports 20 achievements for Java. Its aim is to improve users' programming skills as well as their fun when doing so.
The CodeSkills plug-in relies only on few other Eclipse plug-ins for its successful execution. If you have an up-to-date Java developer version of Eclipse installed, there should be no problems.
4. Installation
To install the plug-in, copy the codeskills.jar to your Eclipse's dropins folder.
5. Running CodeSkills for the first time
The next time you start Eclipse, the plug-in should be succesfully loaded.
Note: If you did not specify a Secure Storage password before, a message will appear that invites you to do so. Don't worry. This is because CodeSkills uses the local storage to save your achievements and points. Just set a password and you'll be fine.
