I followed the instructions on
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Eclipse+Tips, and
encountered a bit of a problem.
To quote the above document:
- Bring up the "SVN Repository" panel in Eclipse (Window/Open
Perspective/SVN Repository Exploring)
- Right-Click within panel/New/Repository Location
- Url:http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/trunk\[\]
- Click on Finish. Now, do the initial checkout:
- Click the "+" next to the new repository, then Right-Click on trunk
and select "Checkout...". Select "Check out as project in the workspace"
and click on "Finish". This will create a new project called "ofbiz" and
download the OFBiz files directly from SVN. To sync your project with SVN
in the future, right-click on the project and click Teams/Synchronize with
Repository.
Alas, I tried this in both Eclipse (Kepler) and STS, and encountered a
problem. Well, in STS I couldn't make sense of anything I saw, but in
Eclipse, it seems that the checkout completed, but with errors. In the
Java window, I see that the project is said to be missing two required
source folders: framework/base/build/gen-src/javacc, and
framework/sql/build/gen-src/javacc. This is true regardless of whether I
check out trunk or release 13.07. The third error, in each case, just says
that it can't be built until the build path errors are resolved.
How do I resolve these build path errors?
Now, in the past, I have just downloaded the latest JDBC connector for
MySQL and placed it into the OFBiz directory tree as instructed. How would
this be done within Eclipse? More importantly, why is it necessary when
the JDBC connector is installed on my system? Can't Eclipse (or ant for
that matter, determine from the system where the JDBC connectors needed are
and use them from there?
Thanks
Ted
