1. Workspace, do you point to the forrest trunk as your workspace or
somewhere standalone.
That's up to you. I'll tell you my setup - that works for me.
I have all public source code in:
~/projects
Inside there I have loads of project folders, the forrest ones are:
~/project/forrest-trunk
~/project/forrest-ivy-branch
~/project/apache-forrest-0.8
My eclipse workbench is set at
~/project
I then use "working sets" to narrow down the projects I see at any one
time (see eclipse help docs for that, but if you only have a handful of
projects then you don't need to worry about it).
If you already have the sources checked out into your workbench folder
then simply create a new project in your workbench and give the new
project the same name as the existing folder, i.e. "forrest-trunk".
Eclipse will spot there is already src here and work through an import
wizard with your.
2. Do you use the subclipse plugin to use SVN, if not, how do you keep
Eclipse upto date with trunk.
Subclipse is OK for updating from SVN, but I don't like it for
committing changes. It seems to get all tied up in knots far too often
and the GUI makes it too easy to make mistakes.
I use subclipse to update and for working with diffs, but I've switched
back to using the command line for committing.
3. Do you use it without the forrest eclipse plugin to debug & work with
forrest or with -- as far as I can see the forrest plugin only does a few
simple actions -- but then I still haven't got that part working yet.
No. The eclipse plugin is unmaintained and the project I created it for
is now dead (well, they claim to be active but there has been no public
activity for years).
I have plans in this direction, but that is for post release discussion.
4. Do you build your projects using eclipse.
No, I use the command line for that, you could though.
If you promise to document this (however roughly), I promise to carry on
asking your questions.
