Thanks for the advice, Robert Roggenbuck also suggested I needed an upgrade of Eclipse. I may go down that road but I'm currently trying Intellij IDEA which I had moved away from because it previously seemed to struggle with Maven. It now appears to be quite good.

Wood Sent: 05 August 2008 13:45 To: dspace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] Eclipse and Maven Well, I have it working okay with Eclipse 3.2.1 and every last update I can get Eclipse to swallow, but I spent so much time fighting with Eclipse and the Maven plugin that I don't know what worked and what didn't. I've delicately hinted that I'd like to know what would help Gentoo upgrade to a non-ancient version of Eclipse, but so far no response. I have had better luck using the plugin to pull the projects from the repository than I did fetching them out using SVN manually and then getting Maven to adopt them. When Eclipse suggests cleaning the workspace, that's good advice. It doesn't always make things perfect but it usually helps. If you have multiple copies of DSpace in Eclipse at once, name each with a unique classifier and BE SURE you put the classifier where it belongs in the naming scheme. I got it wrong once and spent way too much time watching seemingly endless rebuild cycles and torrents of errors until I figured out that the builder was mixing different working sets. When I got that straightened out, the builder stopped freaking out and I could get some work done. -- Mark H.
