If you have some time... :) I think it would be great if you could document how to use the m2eclipse plugin in Eclipse to set up XWiki (with screenshots). I've been using it for the past 5 days and it's great and makes setting up a XWiki dev environment a breeze and it's much much better than doing it the manual way for lots of reasons (always synced with the POMs, etc).
http://m2eclipse.codehaus.org/
I think I have hit a wall here. It seems like m2eclipse is only mean for windows *groans*.
The embedded version of maven seems to be incapable of building XWiki,
Works just fine for Thomas and me. I didn't change anything from the defaults. That's what we use. I'm on Mac and Thomas on unix I think.
In that case, can you verify http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/BuildingInEclipse and let me know if the m2eclipse guide is ok. May be we should add a warning for linux users there and finish it off.
The best would be for you to get it working since I don't see how you can write a tutorial if you haven't used it :) If you cannot then I'll need to find the time to write the tutorial. Let's see what Thomas says since I think he's on linux. Thanks -Vincent
FWIW I'm using Eclipse 3.4M5.

so i tried to change it to our own version of Maven (refer to settings.png attached ). But when i try to build XWiki (in m2eclipse) with the new settings, it complains that it is unable to find the maven executable. If you refer to error.png , it becomes evident that m2eclipse doesn't know how to handle path names in Linux.
One more tiny problem is that i can't find any place where i can set MAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx600m. But this can be overcome by setting it in bash_profile, so I guess it is not a big deal.
Any comments ?
Thanks.
