Automatically create target platform with geronimo server bundles when server
is created
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: GERONIMODEVTOOLS-700
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMODEVTOOLS-700
Project: Geronimo-Devtools
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: eclipse-plugin
Affects Versions: 3.0_M1
Reporter: Han Hong Fang
Assignee: Han Hong Fang
Fix For: 3.0
Problem:
The javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.* are not listed in the exported packages list
Workaround:
javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.* is not a standard spec API in Java EE , its
implementation varies with different app server, that's why eclipse doesn't
include javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.* by default. So if you want to make it appear
on exported package list, you should import jstl implement bundle into
workspace, for example, import geronimo jstl-1.2_1.jar and
geronimo-el_2.2.jar under
$server_home/repository/org/apache/geronimo/bundles/jstl/1.2_1&$server_home/repository/org/apache/geronimo/specs/geronimo-el_2.2_spec,
then you can select jstl from export package list.
Solution:
Your suggestion would work. But then it is hard to import each and every jar
that you would depend on, to your workspace.
The recommended way is to set the workspace target platform to point to the
target server jars location.
You can do that by going to Windows > Preferences > Plug-in Development >
Target Platform and select Add and point to the location that contains your
Geronimo jars (assuming these jars have a Manifest that exports the packages
within the jar). and Click OK.
This would allow your application to compile against all of the jars, and can
import any package that is exported by any of them. Another advantage is that
would ensure your application would resolve these dependencies when you deploy
to that server.
In RAD we do this step automatically when you target WAS 8 or WAS 7 server. In
the OSGi free tools, users have to do this step manually.
