I'm surprised it worked as well for you as it did before. The authoring tool should not have direct dependencies on all of the components it uses. For example it should not directly depend on the OTrunk step used for drawings, or the Pedagogica step used for some CC Models. These dependencies should be introduced at runtime. The only way to do that right now is with a runtime configuration (launcher). The only solution we've found that works with the m2eclipse plugin is to make a monster project that depends on everything. Then when you make a launcher you have it be based in that monster project. This way the launcher pulls in all the monster projects dependencies. So our monster project is pas-common-apps. > How do we make this as simple as possible for incoming developers for > the PRP? Until we have a better solution, they simply need to check out pas-common-apps, and run the pre-existing launcher. Using predefined and checked in launchers in eclipse should be standard procedure for any loosely connected software project. The better solution will allow us to put these "testing" launchers directly in the PAR project. The dependencies can be defined with a maven pom, which will then be referenced by the launcher. And the best solution will be when the authoring tool provides mechanisms to pull in dependencies (plugins). Then the curnit itself will contain references to its dependencies: things like the OTrunk step or Pedagogica step. So when a curnit is loaded by the authoring tool those dependencies will get added to the classpath. Along these lines I would like to see more things pulled out of the plr: - the browser step should not be inside the plr - the wise legacy step (wobble) should not be inside the plr Scott --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SAIL-Dev" group.
