> Im trying to get the current trunk to work in Eclipse using Maven plugins and
> following the guide on the project site by essentially checking out and
> executing "mvn -DskipTests=true install eclipse:eclipse". This works mostly,
> but one problem is the created build path for the project axis2-webapp.
> pom.xml of that project references the resource ".../kernel/conf", that
> resource is transferred to be an Eclipse source folder and the problem with
> those is that they can't be outside the current project easily. While one is
> able to link arbitrary source folders into the project, that's not what the
> Maven plugin is doing. Instead it translates the path to some absolute one
> and simply adds it as is, but Eclipse uses it as some relative path because
> by design all those source folder paths need to be relativ to the current
> project, without leaving it. Things like ".." don't work as well in the
> dialogs of Eclipse.
> The file ".classpath" of Eclipse contains the following entry and you can see
> how Eclipse uses that in the attached screenshots, it simply doesn't work.
> Removing the resource of pom.xml resolves the issue, but I guess it's there
> for some reason, you surely need the properties files of "../kernel/conf".
> {QUOTE}
> <classpathentry kind="src" path="C:/Users/tschoening/Documents/Eclipse/Java
> Axis2/axis2/modules/kernel/conf" including="*.properties"
> excluding="**/*.java"/>
> {QUOTE}
> So how about putting the properties files directly in the "conf" folder of
> axis2-webapp instead of referencing them? This would make Eclipse user's life
> much easier.
> While I know that copying those files is a bit bad, the only other
> alternatives are svn:externals or symlinks on file system level.
> svn:externals don't work with GitHub[1], but a lot of people seem to use your
> project mirror there, and symlinks on file system level are most likely only
> implemented in GIT/SVN-clients for Linux, not Windows. Windows-Eclipse users
> like me would need another workaround for that problem. :-) In the end, it
> doesn't look like those properties file change that often...
> Would be nice if you could fix this somehow. The only workaround I have
> currently is to remove that source folder manually and/or add the needed one
> using other Eclipse mechanisms. But I guess you would prefer as well that
> creating project files etc. works automatically as much as possible.
