It is not as bad as it seems : ) The only extra step right now is
checking out the lcf source code. The projects I sent you are
essentially the eclipse settings you are looking for that would be
loaded into the repo. There are nothing in them beside eclipse settings
and links to the lcf source code.
You got it, the patch would include the project files I sent and the
steps to setup Eclipse. The only extra step right now is dealing with
the zip file that would get eliminated. That's the best I can see
without impacting a lot of current structure, like the build files, the
source paths, etc etc. The only major differece is that I trimmed down
the build.xml file that was in framework. I stripped out the unit test
stuff, the jetty packaging and war file creation, just to focus on what
I needed. Maybe break down the original build.xml to three or four
grouped scripts for each task, like building core, packaging jetty,
running test.
At this point, the best thing is for another person to try this out and
let me know how it goes.

Is there any way to provide a eclipse settings file that helps with
the project setup? Or is this an entirely manual process?
I am happy to open a Jira ticket to cover eclipse integration. It
*sounds* like what the patch should contain would be some files that
get checked into the source tree, and some instructions that probably
should become part of a new web site page, "Running under Eclipse".
Or do you have other ideas?

So what is the verdict on the eclipse setup? Maybe we can work through one
example, like running the agent from eclipse, so I can fine tune the setup
procedure. I figured out how to link the sources into the eclipse project
without manual copying. You need two things, 1) check out the existing lcf
project source into eclipse as lcf, 2) the eclipse projects: mcflib-core,
mcflib-3rd, mcfAgentStart, and mcfAgentStop (Apache mail server has a 1MB
limit, download from
http://www.farzad.net/apache/MCFAgentEclipseProjects.zip)
For the first item, using Eclipse checkout the source path lcf from apache
repository. You'll need to install the SVN plugin for Eclipse if you don't
have it. For the second item, extract the zip file into a temp location.
Import the 4 projects into eclipse by File->Import->select "Existing
Projects into Workspace", then point to one of the folders. Would need to
do this four times. Inside Eclipse, the start and stop projects would have
a red exclamation mark, because the core libs are missing intentionally.
Expand the mcflib-core project and run the "build.xml" file. Refresh the
projects and you should not see any errors.
Run the mcfAgentStart project as a Java Application and include the VM
parameter of -Dorg.apache.manifoldcf.configfile=properties.xml. If
succesful, you'd see the message "Running... " and "Configuration file
successfully read". To stop the agent, run the mcfAgentStop project as a
Java Application and include the same VM parm. You can debug and set break
points by running the debugger in eclipse against the same two projects.
Assuming all went well, that is what it takes to run the agent. Thoughts?
