Hi, Thomas, Thomas Mortagne wrote:
Once I get Maven installed and working, I understand that now it is possible to build the whole XWiki modules.
But this will be also possible by installing an IDE as Eclipse. Maven is always required for this process, but by using Subclipse, M2Eclipse and WTP the whole process can be done from within Eclipse.
If you just want to build, Subclipse and WTP are not even needed (M2Eclipse use real complete embedded maven to build). Use "Run As" -> "Maven install".
Still on this point: M2Eclipse uses "its own" Maven release (as you say, complete embedded maven). Thus, how could we know/control which Maven release is using? Please, consider that I've not installed this software yet and the answer could be obvious!!! Or perhaps I am misunderstanding an M2Eclipse uses the Maven release we installed in a box and it is included in the system wide PATH variable? Once again, thanks for your patience. These details are not clear to me.
If you plan also to program on xwiki and debug it on WTP you should look at http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/DebugXEWithEclipse or http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Debugging
I'll carefully read these pages! Thanks. Best, Ricardo -- Ricardo RodrÃguez Your EPEC Network ICT Team
