Hi,
I am trying to use Eclipse M4 (the latest stable build) to compile
dbforms from the cvs repository.
Some remarks I would appreciate some feedback on
1)
Using the checkout options of Eclipse doesn't give the wanted result
because it always creates a "Normal" project instead of a "Java
Project"; and yes ... I also tried the Checkout Project As ... which
normaly works fine with other projects - there seems to something about
the .vcm_meta file which sits in the cvs and is no more used in the
recent Eclipse release.
As a workaround I manualy checked out the dbforms on my (Win2000)
filesystem, deleted the .vcm_meta and .classpath and then created a Java
project and imported the whole thing. Trying to reconnect to the cvs
server does work partially ... i have the impression that certain files
are not good recognized as unix or windows file - it would be beter to
be able to checkout as a java project without the workaround.
So a question, is the .vcm_meta stil necessarry to be in the cvs-repo ?
2)
Using the above workaround and trying to build everything it broke on
the following settings in the build.xml file
<!-- Required when building in eclipse (WSAD) -->
<available classname="org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main"
property="build.compiler"
value="org.eclipse.pde.internal.core.JDTCompilerAdapter"
classpath="${java.class.path}"/>
It seems again that just commenting the above does the trick ! A
compleet rebuild and distribution compiles ok. So aqain a question, is
the above <available> ... stil necessarry ?
3)
Of course it could be that I am doing something terrible wrong. So has
anyone had the same experiences with Eclipse M4 and the dbforms cvs-repo
? Any tip's ?
Thanks for your time.
