OK, here's supposedly an easy one:
What is the ideal setup to develop nutch plugins. I'm an eclipse-lover,
so I set myself up with a checkout of the 0.9-branch.
The eclipse project is set-up fine and I have been able to use the
debugger to trace where the code goes and where it doesn't.
I then ran the ant build from console. Now I'm getting sorta random
behaviour. Sometimes URLNormalizer cannot be found. I fix that by
readjusting the plugins directory.
Anyhow, what's with the nutch-default.xml and nutch-site.xml? I figured
nutch-site.xml overrides default, but I think that is not the case right
now.
After running the ant build, running inside Eclipse b0rks with several
errors. URLs are not picked up anymore an so on...
So how do I have to set things up, to enable small incremental
iterations of the form:
- Write skeleton for plugin (configs + code)
- write UnitTest
- add URLs that should use the plugin
- debug the code in eclipse
- use nutch-bean to verify the results (not sure about this. Is there a
better way??)
- use ant to deploy.
- Start over again.
Thanks in advance.
