[xwiki-devs] building XWiki
Hi all, Please, allow me a simple question or, much better, to confirm if I am well understanding the process. 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. Please, is this correct? Thanks!

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". 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
Please, is this correct? Thanks!

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.

I'll carefully read these pages! Thanks. Best, Ricardo -- Ricardo Rodríguez Your EPEC Network ICT Team

Yes check the m2eclipse doc, you'll see it's possible. Thanks -Vincent

Don't you think it could be advisable to recommend a package for installing Eclipse? I'm reading http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/BuildingInEclipse As far as I see here http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/compare-packages, JEE and Reporting packages both include Web Tools. Is it better to install the Classic package, then add optional components? Thanks! Ricardo -- Ricardo Rodríguez Your EPEC Network ICT Team

It's up to you. Since XWiki is a webapp I'd go for the JavaEE package but all will work, depending on what type of development you want to do. -Vincent
Thanks Vincent. What I am trying to do now is to finally go throw the details of the PDF/RTF/HTML/whatever format export from XWiki. I'll install JEE then. Greetings, Ricardo Vincent Massol wrote:
