Re: Eclipse configuration for template development

[Lorenzo Patocchi]

Hi Boris,
i'm actually using Eclipse to develop and debug jahia projects.
What You additionally need is:
   - MyEclipseIDE (http://www.myeclipseide.com/)


then you have to split your jahia installation in 2 main pieces.

- bundled tomcat
- webapps/jahia contents to be moved into web(*) of eclipse project



in eclipse then:
- copy properties from web/WEB-INF/classes to src


ensure all jar in WEB-INF are found and added to project's build-path




good luck!

once installed You can start a new Web Project with standard directories: src and web(*) where src contains properties&java sources and web the webstuff (WEB-INF jsp etc), because of the move now tomcat will not find anymore jahia, so you have to create a jahia.xml inside tomcat's webapps that specify the new location of jahia with context path="/jahia" - configure myeclipse properties to add a new application server to point where you installed jahia's tomcat (tomcat4) probably eclipse&myeclipse will start to compile all jsp (may take a little while) and now you are ready to start jahia from inside eclipse, develop and debug :-)

Hi all,

I'm trying to use Eclipse to ease template development.


I'm currently using Eclipse 3.2.1 with WTP plugin.
It gives me the following features :
- auto-completion on taglibs
- unstable auto-completion on Java embedded in JSPs
- but still no debug on JSP




The auto-completion on Java is unstable. Here is what happens :

    <%

    ContentPage contentPage = ContentPage.getPage(jData.page().getID());
    %>

    <%

    ParamBean jParams = jData.params();
    ContentPage contentPage = ContentPage.getPage(jData.page().getID());
    %>


Any ideas to work around this problem?



Thanks,
Boris Maras

If you use it, how did you configure it? Which plugins? Which connection with Tomcat&Jahia? Which debugging facilities? I created a "dynamic web project" and put the Jahia libs in the build path. I also copied the WEB-INF directory so that Eclipse can find the tlds and web.xml But I did not manage to link it to Tomcat/Jahia. The stacktraces in the mailing-lists seem to show that some of you managed to do it. Any hints? :-) I currently deploy my templates using an Ant task (it creates a jar, and then copies it to the new_templates directory). First example : in a JSP, if I have the following code, auto-completion is fine : JahiaData jData = (JahiaData) request.getAttribute( "org.jahia.data.JahiaData" ); Second example : I add a line using the class ParamBean. Auto-completion is still fine on the first line, but is disabled on every line after the one using ParamBean (error message : "Java Content Assist is not available for the current cursor location") : JahiaData jData = (JahiaData) request.getAttribute( "org.jahia.data.JahiaData" ); It's very annoying because ParamBean is used very often. I need to comment these lines whenever I want auto-completion to work (but, of course, I have compilation errors). More globally, do you have another plugin and/or IDE that works better for these features?
