I've spent some over the past week or two also working on building opennms inside eclipse. I think you'll have better luck building the completed project using compile.pl and assemble.pl outside of eclipse than inside it. Just install ActiveState perl on your system, and you'll have no problems running the build process.
Here's my notes on issues I've found building the project inside eclipse: There is a plugin you can add to the project to add the generated-sources directories to the build path. See http://issues.opennms.org/browse/NMS-4814. This will solve most of the can't compile due to missing sources. I'm fairly certain you can also bump maven-resources-plugin from 2.3 to 2.5 even though the comments in opennms/pom.xml say there's major escaping issues beyond 2.3. As best I can tell all the filtered files now using the ${...} syntax instead of @...@ like they used to so the comment doesn't seem to apply any more. This will get rid of the builds errors about m2e needing a newer version of maven-resources-plugin. Next, there are a couple of plugins that opennms uses that eclipse & m2e don't know what to do with. You'll need to add a lifecycle-mapping plugin so eclipse knows how to handle those specific plugins. It is pretty simple since eclipse suggests a quick-fix of adding an "ignore" action which you can then switch to execute so it will still execute those plugins. Adding these will cause the command line build to throw warnings about these unknown plugins though. There are two projects that will still fail to build, opennms-tools/jira-troubleticketer and opennms-tools/quickbase-troubleticketer. Both have dependencies on external jars that are not available via maven. It is probably easier to not import the two projects in when you do the initial import existing maven projects. At this point Eclipse is telling me I have 158 errors and 1457 warnings in the problems window. If I close the jira-troubleticketer and quickbase-troubleticketer projects, I'm down to 5 errors and 1457 warnings. 1. Eclipse is correct about though, features/isoc-ipv6-gui/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml is invalid xml. The welcome-file-list section should be after the servlet-mapping section. 2. opennms-web-api/src/test/java/org/opennms/web/org/opennms/web/api/CommandBeanMockup.java - java package name wrong? 3. opennms-web-api/src/test/java/org/opennms/web/org/opennms/web/api/WebSecurityUtilsTest.java - java package name wrong? 4. features/remote-poller-jnlp/pom.xml (x2) - can add the ignore lifecycle-mapping for webstart-maven-plugin, but execute mapping has build issues inside eclipse (due to customized opennms version of the plugin?)
