Prerequisites[edit]
- Eclipse 3.3.1.1
- Subclipse plugin for eclipse 1.2.4 (get it here)
Install the maven plugin[edit]
Do the following steps to install the maven plugin:
- Go to Help->Software Updates->Find and install...
- Choose Search for new features to install
- Add a new remote site with the following info:
Name: Maven
URL: http://m2eclipse.codehaus.org/update
- Install version 0.0.11 of the plugin; 0.0.12 won't work since it's complaining about a misconfigured plugin
Importing the projects[edit]
To import all the submodules of a project, do the following:
- Go to Files->Import...
- Choose General->Maven projects
- Now choose the root of your projects folder (it's the one with a pom.xml and the submodule folders)
- Check every project and import all the modules
You will get a parent eclipse project with all submodules and eclipse projects of all the submodules.
Attention, at the moment, the subversion plugin only works from the parent eclipse project.
Define the JBoss instance[edit]
For local testing a JBoss server can be used to deploy the project artifact. To define a JBoss instance in eclipse, do the following:
- Go to Window->Preferences...
- Choose Server->Installed Runtimes->Add...
- Choose a JBoss Version (normally 4.2) and add the path to your JBoss installation. Remember, use the server in jboss/server_eclipse!
- Now open a server view and righclick in it
- With New->Server you can add your created server runtime
