True, Eclipse is complex, but the advantage is you only need to learn
one IDE, not many.
Many people have difficulty getting Subversion to work in Eclipse, so
you might want to use an alternate method.
Check out a local copy of the OFBiz project using a regular Subversion
client, then create a new project in Eclipse that uses the local copy:
File -> New -> Project... -> Java Project -> Next -> uncheck Use default
location -> browse to local copy of OFBiz -> finish wizard

Thanks Adrian,
Alas, 'Run As' does not appear when I right-click the build.xml file.
I suspect that may be because the only place I see that file is in the
repository in the SVN browser. I know it has been checked out, and an
ofbiz project has been created, but I am having trouble navigating to
the local copy. (I just installed Eclipse a couple days ago, and am
still working on making sense of it.) Eclipse seems to be
substantially more complex than Emacs. ;-)
I did take a look at deployment from Eclipse, and was disappointed to
find it does not seem to be able to deploy to Tomcat on a different
machine. It seems to insist that all exports and deployment be on the
local machine, and if this perception is true, then it is a big
disappointment because I do not want development tools on my server: I
want to develop on my workstation and then deploy a 'finished' product
to the server.
Thanks
Ted
