Re: [xwiki-devs] simple questions

I am using Eclipse intensively when working on XWiki, but I am a console-fanatic, so the way I work is not the best way. So, in order to setup the XWiki source code for Eclipse, you must do the following: 1. Install the custom version of Maven as described on http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Building#HInstallingMaven 2. Checkout the sources. I prefer using the command-line svn client, but you can use any svn client you want 3. Generate the eclipse project (I do this only for the java sources), this is done by going to xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-core and running "mvn eclipse:eclipse"; you can do this in any other directory which has a pom.xml file in it, and you can also add "-DdownloadSources=true" and "-DdownloadJavadocs=true" to download and link to the sources/javadoc archives, too, so that you can navigate inside the code or get more info about the used code. So the full command line is "mvn eclipse:eclipse -DdownloadSources=true -DdownloadJavadocs=true" 4. Open Eclipse and choose "File -> Import -> Existing project into workspace" and choose the directory used at 3. 5. Go to Preferences -> Java -> Build Path -> Classpath Variables and create a new variable named M2_REPO pointing to ~/.m2/repository 6. In order to build various parts of the project, I use the command line mvn client, but I guess you can also use a Maven plugin for Eclipse Sergiu Your XEN ICT Team - Ricardo Rodriguez wrote:
