On the Eclipse plugin, my initial thought was that this wasn't worth it. Seemed like explaining the magic of auto-including the tim as a library is more complicated than having someone include the library. But, on a second thought, if we integrate tim-get like functionality into the Eclipse plugin (which I don't think is there yet?) then, it might make sense for that piece to also offer to update your Eclipse classpath for certain libraries.
I worry about making the classpath stuff in Maven any harder to understand than it already is so I think I would tread very carefully. There is maybe a bigger discussion that we've touched on in the past about whether it is a good thing to be merging end-user library code and tim configuration in a single jar used from two locations. To me, that's a more important discussion than the ones above. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Eck" <t...@terracottatech.com> To: tc-dev@lists.terracotta.org Sent: Friday, January 30, 2009 1:03:49 PM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: Re: [tc-dev] ConcurrentStringMap and eclipse RE: [tc-dev] ConcurrentStringMap and eclipse I kinda feel like this might be paving the cow path, but I wonder if we might want some special treatment in the TC eclipse plugin for TIMs that have compile time APIs. Seems like specially tagged TIMs could be auto-added to the classpath of the project. What about something similar in the tc-maven-plugin? > -----Original Message----- > From: tc-dev-boun...@lists.terracotta.org [ mailto:tc-dev- > boun...@lists.terracotta.org] On Behalf Of Geert Bevin > Sent: Friday, January 30, 2009 2:07 AM > To: tc-dev@lists.terracotta.org > Subject: Re: [tc-dev] ConcurrentStringMap and eclipse > > If you set it up as a Maven dependency and use the project as a Maven > project in Eclipse, it should automatically be added to your build > path.
