Raphael,
Thanks for the guidance. I'm closer now. But still not there. After a
full day of trial and error on this, I settled on the following steps:
1) On a clean eclipse workspace, File-->Import-->Git --- I selected
"clone URI" and entered the James GIT clone URI:
https://github.com/apache/james-project.git
2) I selected the 3.3.x branch (I guess that's what I want... (??) ) and
said to also clone submodules. It downloaded to a folder. It created
an eclipse project/package named james-server. But the project only had
3 files: model.di, model.notation, and model.uml.
3) On a whim, I decided to import again using "Maven existing project"
and pointed to the extracted folder. That seemed to work for the most part.
It initially gave me 10 errors saying "Plugin execution not covered by
lifecycle configuration" and 16 more errors with "Project configuration
not up to date with pom.xml". All with varying pom.xml files. I did a
"quick fix" and it got rid of the 'not up to date' errors. I googled
the lifecycle error and it said to edit all of the pom.xml files and add
<pluginManagement> tags around the plugin tags. I tried in on a couple
of the pom.xml files, and it did fix the errors (???).
I then did a build, and it added one more error, something about an
invalid mojo tag in a pom descriptor.
Just for fun, I did a clean build, and that was a huge mistake. I now
have 340 errors where it can't resolve DTOs in FlagsTest,
EventSerializer in EventDispatcher, etc. Apparently 'clean' wipes out
source files as well. Or it wipes out class files that are not part of
the full build.
So that's where I am. I can edit a bunch of pom.xml files and add
tags. I can hopefully figure out how to fix mojo. And I can hope to
remember to NEVER do a clean build again. But this just doesn't seem
right that I have to go in and modify a bunch of source files just to
get a clean build from a ship-level source package. I have zero
confidence if I have to make all of these change that I really have an
'official' 3.3.x James.
Suggestions? Where did I stray from the correct path? I'm beginning to
feel like I belong in the class with the slow kids....

Hi Jerry,
Don't worry, Eclipse is still supported as a development environment
and currently used by some developers (even if we have some issues in
incoming 3.4 regarding compatibility between Eclipse and some Scala
code).
The usual workflow to work in a dev environment is the following:
- clone the git repository
- checkout the branch / tag you want to work on
- import the project in Eclipse
This workflow should work perfectly well.
The issue you are encountering is because as you are taking the
sources directly from the released version, you don't have any .git
repository as you would have if you had cloned the project. This is
not a big harm, but it seems to make failing the git-commit-id-plugin.
So if you remove this plugin from the main pom.xml, I guess your
problem would be solved.
Regards,
Raphaël.

Thanks for the info, Garry. But I'm still confused. Are you saying
that it is no longer possible to build from the source on Eclipse? I
realize the team may be pushing docker. But there are still
non-docker binaries that got built someway. I just want to recreate
those binaries with my code additions. But first I want to just build
with the official source untouched and verify that works. Then I'll
add my changes and rebuild.
You said the .git files are from the .git repository. I don't doubt
that. But I'm not a git guru. I'm still not sure how to fix the
errors I'm getting (~400+ of these):
org.apache.maven.plugin.MojoExecutionException: .git directory is not
found! Please specify a valid [dotGitDirectory] in your pom.xml
I do not know anything about pom syntax. I have no clue how/where to
"specify a valid [dotGitDirectory] in your pom.xml" (times 400....)
Does this error mean that there isn't a gitDirectory defined in the
pom.xml and there should be? Or does it mean that one is defined
somewhere and the specified directory doesn't exist on my file
system? I guess it'd be too much to ask for this error message to
include the directory it found and which of the 400 pom.xml files the
error refers to. (Sorry... I'm just frustrated at less-than-useful
error messages).
Did I download an invalid source zip? Is there a different zip (or
additional zips that contain the correct pom files? ) I simply went to
github and downloaded the latest source zip file.
Where do I start? I really don't want to have to learn how to build
on Linux unless there's an official word that says Eclipse is no
longer supported as a build platform. I need to use Eclipse to debug
my code. I just want to download the correct source, import it into
Eclipse, and build it. I just can't understand why I can't get
anywhere near a successful build. What am I doing wrong?

Jerry, I had to download the source, run configure and make on a
Linux system. The problem is that the source is made to build onto
a docker system on Windows. Those of us who choose not to run
docker and run a real operating system often have issues. Those
.git files are from the .git repository. If you did a git clone,
create your workspace from the local git repo or import existing
maven projects into eclipse from the repo. This serves two
purposes. 1, it allows you to keep your project up to date and 2,
it allows you to commit if you have any changes to the existing
code you want to push up for others.
I haven’t built anything after 3.3.0 was finalizedbecause the
government finally approved 3.3.0 for use (ironically, they had
been insisting that 3.0.4beta was safe to use in production and I
outright refused to put that in place).

written. Neither of those folder exist, and it wasn't obvious
where they moved to.
-- I know enough about eclipse to get by. I know nothing about
maven (and for now would like to keep it as close to that way as
possible). I just want to add a few tweaks to James 3.3 that I
added back in v3b5 and get the latest james into production. I'm
sure there's something missing or some setting wrong in Eclipse
or in the Maven plug-in. I did a complete clean install of
Eclipse (Java EE version) and Maven on a different machine just
to make sure there were no issues with my original Eclipse. No
change.
Any help on resolving the hundreds of import errors and where to
find all of these files that have moved since the instructions
were written will be appreciated. I'm at a total loss. I
really just need to get this thing to build.
Thanks.
Jerry
