Hi BJ/Dan, I'm not aware that there can be a shorter method without providing
better integration between Eclipse and Maven, which might be possible with
m2eclipse plugin (http://m2eclipse.codehaus.org/) but I've never used it. Might
be a good exercise though, since it would certainly provide much faster
debugging capabilities.....

Hello all,
I have set up a Geronimo 2.1 server in Eclipse using the instructions
given
at
http://geronimo.apache.org/developing-the-geronimo-eclipse-plugin-in-eclipse.html.
I have imported a server trunk tree as projects into my Eclipse
environment,
set up a Geronimo server runtime, and point a Plug-in Target Platform
back
to my plugin directory. At this point all seems to be working. I can use
Eclipse to start and stop the server, and catch a break point in
geronimo-system.
However, when I try to modify the server code, I have difficulty
taking the
updated class back to the runtime to further debug it. I see modifying a
Java file in Eclipse produces an updated class file in the server trunk
framework module geronimo-system directory, but I still am unclear what
steps or what poms to build to bring this class back to the server
runtime.
I would appreciate any doc pointers or explanations to help clear my
newbie
confusion.
Thanks, Dan
Also being a Geronimo newbie, I'm sure I'm not the best to answer this,
but what I have seen work for me (and I'm sure this is the long way)
follows. After making my change to the code, I do a mvn at the trunk
level. This will build the changed code and any dependencies and the
assemblies. Then I unzip the new assembly over the old server unzipped
directory and I can see the changes I made.
