Google Visualizations Project Update Instructions

The instructions for installing the Google Visualizations code from scratch can be found here.

Disclaimer: Following these instructions will overwrite your existing Google Visualization code files, so be sure to check your code in to your source code repository before performing the following actions. Also, these actions should only be performed against a Developer Edition org.


  1. In the Force.com IDE, choose the SVN Repository Exploring perspective in the upper right-hand corner.
    • If this is not available, go to the Window menu, select "Open Perspective", choose "Other", then from the menu that appears, select "SVN Repository Exploring".

  2. Expand the SVN repository until you see the GoogleVisualizations folder.

  3. Right-click on the src folder and choose Export.

  4. For the export directory, click the Browse button and navigate to the project in the file system. (You should select the project directory in this step, and not the src sub-directory.)

  5. Use the pull-down menu in the upper right-hand corner of the IDE to switch to the Force.com perspective.
    • If this is not available, go to the "Window" menu, select "Open Perspective", choose "Other", from the menu that appears, select "Force.com".

  6. Right click the src folder in your IDE project and select Refresh. This will update your workspace with the files retrieved from SVN.

  7. Verify that your project builds without error.
