Hi Grant, We tried Maven, but found it extremely tedious - yes I admit we are influenced by the commercial nature of our work and have to tradeoff our purist software engineering tendencies with pragmatic deadlines :) My colleges, John wrote this up on the topic: http://safaridev.com/
In a nutshell - setting up Maven is not for someone who is pressed for time. I would really like to see the mythical "one-click installer" - run it, it discovers your development environment & IDE, then places JAR and libs where they belong, adds classpaths and project files as necessary, and starts your IDE with the Lucene project already loaded. This will greatly increase the number of developers who can try their hand with Lucene, I believe. Dejan PS. Were you at SIGIR? Would be interested on your thoughts on the Turpin & Scholer (RMIT Melbourne, AU) paper! -----Original Message----- From: Grant Ingersoll [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 23, 2006 5:34 AM To: java-dev@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: Dev platforms - installers Hey Dejan, Don't know if it is an option for you, but I use Maven for all of this. You specify your Project model along with all of its dependencies and it has plugins that create project files for IntelliJ and Eclipse (not sure about NetBeans). With a little tweaking, it setups our version control, source locations, compiler/ debugger settings, etc. -Grant On Aug 22, 2006, at 6:07 PM, Dejan Nenov wrote: > Would there be an interest in developing / contributing "canned" > installers > for the more popular IDEs. > > > > I would love to have a continuously built set of install JARs that > let me > install the Lucene sources, test apps, contributions and necessary > libraries > in one shot on my choice of Eclipse, NetBeans or IntelliJ IDE. > Setting up > and juggling project files, workspaces, debugger settings, etc. for > various > contributed code and sub-projects can be very annoying. > > > > Dejan > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
