Hi Sachin, The mvn eclipse:eclipse generates the .project files with the proper reference. This solves the problem you mentioned. Generally it would be a nice start but naturally is the manual import a long and tedious exercise. I guess an exported workspace might help.
With debugging there is currently the problem that o.g...Daemon requires the server.jar which then refers the modules via the manifest as jars. This forces then to build with maven instead of directly using the generated classes. Just building the changed component is sufficient with exception of the ones referring xmlbeans. I was hoing that somebody had already made more progress but I will not give up. Heinz On 8/28/06, Sachin Patel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
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
