Re: [xwiki-dev] Developing XWiki with Eclipse using Jetty+HSQL xwiki install

It was a PITA to get working correctly, but now that it is setup, its relatively easy to run/debug xwiki within eclipse - just RC xwiki and Run/DebugAs -> Run/Debug on server. Simple java changes get hot deployed into debuggee too. If you configure hibernate to use HSQL, then everything should run in process when WTP launches the tomcat (or jetty?) instance. I've attached the dotfiles I used to make this happen - you may need to tweak them slightly, but they should work out of the box is your eclipse project checked out from svn is named "xwiki", and your tomcat instance is named the same as I have in the .runtime file (RC xwiki, Properties->Server). I'm currently using WTP 0.7RC3, so you'll need something close to that version to get it to work. One issue to keep in mind - currently WTP creates a war directory structure in the .deployables directory, thus when you change a file it doesn't get copied over unless you build, however, if incremental build is on (default), this happens automatically. Hope this helps, Matt
