Re: Eclipse as development tool for Geronimo components

[Sachin Patel]

One of the big problems is that you can not use pure Eclipse to develop Geronimo. (just make code changes and compile)  The maven eclipse plugin generates the .classpath in which all the projects reference only the built jars in the maven repository rather then the projects set up to reference each other.  This causes a huge annoyance in that every time you make a change that affects another module, you will not see any compilation errors since the modified module has to be rebuilt and redeployed with maven so that the affected jar picks up the change. Also using the maven plugin for eclipse doesn't help, and enabling the maven build to occur using it helps the issue but makes the build process extremlely long.  I haven't tried the m2 eclipse goal to see if it addresses some of these issues or not.

I have run mvn eclipse:eclipse, imported manually the projects but I'm hoping for a faster approach.  And I'm facing several problems. First I could not found the xmlbeans in the source tree, modules referring them don't compile.  Then I have not found a way to run G directly from the compilation produced by Eclipse.  Only approach now is to build a module with Maven and  copy the jar to the Geronimo tree. Help would be very much appreciated. Regards, Heinz -sachin
