** *Can someone help me to describe the steps needed to set the ManifoldCF Development environment in Eclipse.*
*I found some useful information in the FAQ page but it is now old enough. Additionally due to license issues all lib are not bundled in the source code. * *Can any one list all the jars which needs to be present to build the ManifoldCF. Even a screenshot will help to explan the way how manifoldcf modules are build in eclipse.* *Correction Needed: The SVN repository to checkout the source code has changed but its not updated in the home page of manifoldcf. Pls. correct it to http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/manifoldcf/trunk/* *Some useful configuration information present at https://cwiki.apache.org/CONNECTORS/faq.html** * *Q. How do you configure Eclipse to build the ManifoldCF project?* *A.* Here are the steps using Eclipse 3.4: 1. Install Subclipse for Eclipse 3.x, follow the steps from http://subclipse.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectProcess?pageID=p4wYuA 2. In Eclipse, switch to the "SVN Repository Exploring" perspective 3. Add a new SVN repository using the URL http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/lcf/trunk 4. Right click on the svn repo and select "Check Out" - May want to change the default name from truck to ManifoldCF, if you don't change the name Eclipse will ask for a project type, pick General/Project. 5. Wait for the source to extract 6. Switch to Java Perspective and right click on the project that was added (referred to as MCF in the rest of the steps) and select "Properties" 7. Select "Builders" and click New 8. Select "Ant Builder" and click Ok 9. Give your builder a name, like ManifoldCF Ant Builder 10. In the "Buildfile" section, press the "Browse Workspace" button 11. Select the MCF project, drill down to "modules" subfolder and select "build.xml" file then press Ok 12. In the "Base Directory" section, press the "Browse Workspace" button 13. Expand the MCF project and select "modules" then press Ok 14. Note, you can further configure the different targets if you wish for a clean, regular, and auto build 15. Press Ok in the "Edit launch configuration properties" to complete the Eclipse configuration 16. Make sure you have the system variable JAVA_HOME pointing to your jdk, also you need the jdk bin directory listed in your path so java doc would work 17. Now you can issue "Project/Build Project" and watch the console for the ant output -- Thanks & Regards Anupam Bhattacharya
