TiShadow essentially works by building and installing a single app on iOS and Android. This acts as a host or controller on the device. That client app connects to your TiShadow server which pushes your Titanium project source code and resources out to the device and runs it as if it was compiled into the client app.
This plugin does a very good job on making the creation e installation as easy as possible to avoid using the OS terminals (consoles) at all. For instance, to run the TiShadow server and run the tests without using this plugin it's necessary to open 2 terminals. In this way, the user can use all the features the TiShadow provides in a transparent way.
Using all the capabilities Eclipse provides, like wizards, shortcuts, among others, it is possible to create a TiShadow base application, appify an existing Titanium project, deploy new changes on the application code and one of the best features: the abitily to run tests and see the reports on junit format.
Point the following URL to your eclipse update site manager to install TiShadow Plugin:
Eclipse/Titanium Studio:

If you get an error installing similar to this:

This error during installation of the plugin is due it has some dependencies to JDT plugins, and you probably don't have the eclipse update site added/enabled to look for those dependencies.
You may try to add/enable the eclipse update site to your available software sites and then checking "Contact all updates sites during install..." in the Install Dialog.
Note: The update site URL will depend on you Eclipse/TitaniumStudio. For a standard TitaniumStudio 3.3 should be:
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/kepler
As soon as you have installed TiShadow plugin for Titanium, make sure the plugin recognizes accordingly the TiShadow version installed on your system. To do that, go to Windows > Preferences and select TiShadow.
Check for the TiShadow version on the top. If is not shown, browse for your current TiShadow path location and apply the changes.
Also you can configure the default port and host for your wizards.
First you have to "appify" the project you want to test, which will create a new app that is basically the same but with the TiShadow libraries included.
- Go to New>Project... TiShadow Appify Creation (Or, right click on the project and then New > TiShadow Appify)
- Enter the name of the appified project and select location of the project you want to test (base project).
- Select the location where the appified app will be created (output folder) if you don't want the default location.
- Enter the port and host in which the TiShadow server will run.
- Click Finish.
Then, you need to start the TiShadow server in order to access its services. So, just click the run server button on the TiShadow toolbar.
After that, you need to run the appified project on a device or emulator the same way you would run the original project.
Example: On Genymotion (emulator):
- Open Genymotion.
- Start your preferred device.
- Start the appified project.
Once the server is running and the appified project is installed and running on the device we will be able to deploy the code into the application and see the changes immediately.
To do that, you need to right-click on the original project, not the appified one, and then, Run As > Deploy TiShadow or just use the "TiShadow Deploy" menu button on the Titanium/Eclipse toolbar.
Finally, to run the tests, you need to right-click on the original project, not the appified one, and then, Run As > Run TiShadow Tests or just use the "Run TiShadow Tests" menu button on the Titanium/Eclipse toolbar.
