Lahiru Sandakith commented on AXIS2-2072:
-----------------------------------------

create_project.xml only creates a plugin which can be imported to eclipse to 
get a working plugin from that you need to export that plugin. Using 
create_project.xml  and now its obsilete, As I indicated in earlier we now can 
use the Ant build to do this and you do not need the create_projet.xml any 
more.  

I am quating the readme.txt that we have in 1.1.1 at module/tools 


Ant Build
---------
        Create Eclipse Plugin Projects
        ------------------------------

        * Since the source for the tools has a dependency on the eclipse 
classes. one has to run the
          ant build file (build.xml) to generate a relevant eclipse project 
from the source.
          
        * In order to compile the plugin first you must do a maven create-lib 
on Axis2 Source and
          set ECLIPSE_HOME environment variable to point to your eclipse home 
directory.  
        
        * use the ant generate-projects command to generate the plugin projects.
        
        * Once the projects are generated in each eclipse plugin directory 
under tools directory
          (axis2-eclipse-service-plugin and axis2-eclipse-codegen-plugin) they 
can be opened as a Eclipse PDE
          for building and editing.
          
        * This can be done by File -> Import -> Existing project into workspace 
on Elcipse menu and 
          point that to the any of eclipse plugin directory under tools 
directory.

        Build Eclipse Plugin Projects
        ------------------------------

        * Build and install the eclipse plugin to your local eclipse plugin 
directory.
                * In order to compile the plugin first you must do a maven 
create-lib on Axis2 Source and
                  set ECLIPSE_HOME environment variable to point to your 
eclipse home directory.
                * stop eclpse if still on operation.
                * use ant install-plugins 
                * start eclipse
                * plugins will be accessible through [File -> New -> Other] 
ctl+n under Axis2 Wizards.

        * Release the plugins in compressed format
                * In order to compile the plugin first you must do a maven 
create-lib on Axis2 Source and
                  set ECLIPSE_HOME environment variable to point to your 
eclipse home directory.
                * stop eclpse if still on operation.
                * ant release-plugins
                * plugins will be available at target/eclipse_projects/release
        
        * The tool sources are not included in the build
        
        * To run the plugin you need please refer to,

>             Project: Axis 2.0 (Axis2)
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: codegen
>    Affects Versions: 1.1.1
>         Environment: Windows XP, Eclipse 3.2.1, JDK 1.4.2
>            Reporter: Stuart Bell
>         Assigned To: Lahiru Sandakith
>         Attachments: Axis2_Codegen_Wizard_1.2.1.zip, create-project.xml
>
>
> Attempted to follow the installation instructions here:  
> http://ws.apache.org/axis2/tools/1_1/eclipse/wsdl2java-plugin.html
> I've never had such a difficult experience with other Eclipse plug-ins.  I've 
> had to go down the route of building the plug-in from the source.  The 
> create-project.xml for codegen seems to be broken as it is attempting to 
> reference an axis2-1.1.1.jar which no longer exists.  It seems that the Axis 
> libraries have been broken up into multiple JARs.  This seems to have 
> happened changed with retrospectively updating the build script.
> Also, the installation guide for the plugin is very obscure.  I am aware of 
> Maven, but I have never used it.  Do I really have to spend days figuring out 
> Maven just to re-build a plugin??
> Was the plugin never developed to be just dropped into the plugins directory 
> in Eclipse?
> Regards,
