Hi committers,
I don't know the only one who do that to debug XWiki on Eclipse I'm
creating web project mirror of the product web I'm working on (for
example XEM) and use "j2ee module dependencies" property to
dynamically link xwiki-core and plugins. This way when modifying
something in plugin it's automatically built and published without
the need to rebuild all XEM to get a complete distribution package
with all necessary dependencies included.
I think it's pretty similar to what I seen for some of you with IntelliJ IDEA.
The "problem" here is that Eclipse automatically add
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file in the first source directory of web project
linked projects it can find : in our case it's always src/main/java
(at least in core/plugins/components cases). In this case Eclipse does
not generate this file at build time like maven do.
Considering that we never add META-INF in src/main/java but in
src/main/resources for a maven project I always added it to svn:ignore
in the past. As I had a chat with Vincent who is not agree with this
way to do I'm wondering what you think of that ?
