I need a brave eclipse user to try out the following, and then I have some questions for others.
1) Remove all .project and .classpath files from your tree. 2) cd to 'eclipse'. 3) Pick a new pathname for an eclipse workspace (call it WORKSPACE) in the following. 4) mvn -Psetup-eclipse-workspace -Declipse.workspace.dir=WORKSPACE This much will create WORKSPACE, copy some files into it, and set some global options. 5) cd .. (to the mahout top) 6) mvn -Psetup.eclipse -Declipse.workspace=WORKSPACE Now there will be .project and .classpath files. 7) start eclipse, select WORKSPACE 8) import projects from the mahout toplevel If all goes well, you will be presented with a lot of PMD complaints. I turned on PMD as part of the show, and it seems that we have a supply of PMD non-compliance. What do people think about the PMD rules we have checked in? Do we want to conform to them?
