I'm curious whether there are other Nutch developers out there are
using Eclipse (I've got 3.0 on Mac OS X 10.3), and if so, if/how
they configure things to leverage the Ant build while still being
able to edit/build/debug source files using Eclipse.
I searched the archives, and found a post by Jason Tang where he
said that "Eclipse works fine!", but nothing else. I'm wondering
how he (and others) have configured things to be able to modify,
then build/debug Lucene, Nutch, and custom plug-ins.
I'm asking here first, in case somebody has an existing
configuration that works. If this isn't something that anybody
does, then I'll re-post to the Eclipse developer list.
Thanks to Jeff & Isabel for their feedback.
The problem I'm running into now is that I'll modify some Lucene
code, then start a debugging session. Eclipse correctly fires up the
Ant build to recreate the JAR, but it appears to have a cached copy
of the source code if I've done a previous debugging session
involving that same source file. I have to quit & relaunch Eclipse or
manually re-attach the source to the JAR to get things in sync again.
I realize this isn't a Nutch-specific development issue, so I'll try
on the Eclipse list.
Thanks again,
