Hi All,

You might have more success with eclipse + subversive/subclipse + m2eclipse (http://m2eclipse.codehaus.org/). Using this method you will get a single project in eclipse (for each branch) rather than multiple projects for each module. I haven't tried to make it work the other way.

From the SVN Repository view, browse to the branch you want. Right click on the top level (eg branches/1.1 or trunk). Checkout as project in workspace, and specify a project name (since 'trunk' by itself isn't very descriptive if you've got non mina things as well). After it checks out you'll have a "normal" eclipse project - not even a java one. Right click, maven -> enable dependency management, then maven -> enable nested modules. Hopefully now it's in a state where you can develop normally.

Repeat for each branch you want. You will need to disable workspace resolution unless each branch you want open at the same time has different artifact versions.
Good luck :)

I am using Eclipse and am creating a new workspace for each branch.
It seems like there much be an easier way.

Hi, I'm using mvn eclipse:eclipse and new workspace and as everybody
suffering eclipse OOM errors and crappyness if I load too much
project in my workspace :(
I'm using eclipse, and have a different instance for each branch : IFAIK, you can't load twice the same project in one workspace, even if it's supposed to be on what eclipse call 'workspace' (which is unrelated to the 'workspace' you create on the disk).

I don't have any OOM, even with something like 6 projects loaded :
- ADS
- MINA
- FtpServer
- AsyncWeb
- JMeter
- My own test project

but I'm using my own eclipse launch script to use 800 Mb.

Of course, I'm on Linux !

If someone has a better solution, I would love to have more than one MINA version in eclipse !
