Setting up an Eclipse Development Environment

...

Instructions on how to setup your development environment can be found here.

Note: these instructions were probably made obsolete by shindig revision r772382. (http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=772382Image Removed). If you're using tomcat, please update these instructions as appropriate.

(lightbulb) Shindig uses Juel as the implementation of Unified Expression Language, this clashes with tomcat 6 el-api.jar, and sometimes produces weird error messages (UnsatisfiedLinkError), you need to:
-Change SHINDIG_ROOT/pom.xml and comment the maven plugin 'maven-remote-resources-plugin', otherwise when Eclipse tries to jar the classes under several shindig subprojects, the META-INF/{DEPENDENCIES,NOTICE,LICENSE...} files clash with one another and Eclipse throws an error.
-Add a dependency in SHINDIG_ROOT/pom.xml, SHINDIG_ROOT/java/common/pom.xml and SHINDIG_ROOT/java/gadgets/pom.xml on :
<dependency><groupId>javax.el</groupId><artifactId>el-api</artifactId><scope>provided</scope><version>1.0</version></dependency>
since we're going to replace the full JUEL (that includes the el-api) with a stripped down JUEL (without the el-api).
You need to scope it with 'provided' so that Eclipse will not add this jar to the WEB-INF/lib directory (el-api.jar is found on tomcat6/lib) or it will clash with the tomcat6 provided el-api.jar and produce an UnsatisfiedLinkError exception.
-Create a juel-2.1.0-nojavax.jar with the same classes as they were in juel-2.1.0.jar but removing the javax directory from the jar.
-Install your juel-2.1.0-nojavax.jar in your local Maven repository with:
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=juel-2.1.0-nojavax.jar -DgroupId=de.odysseus.juel -DartifactId=juel -Dversion=2.1.0-nojavax -Dpackaging=jar
-Change the dependency version of JUEL from "2.1.0" to "2.1.0-nojavax" in SHINDIG_ROOT/pom.xml, SHINDIG_ROOT/java/common/pom.xml and SHINDIG_ROOT/java/gadgets/pom.xml.

Now on Eclipse create 3 Java projects: shindig-common, shindig-gadgets and shindig-social-api with source folder=src/main/java, and one "Dynamic Web Project" (shindig-server) with WebApp folder == src/main/webapp. Then import the sources from your SHINDIG_ROOT/java/{common,gadgets,social-api,server} to each of these projects. On each of the projects, add the src/main/java and src/main/resources and src/test/resources as a source folder (right-click on the folder and select "Add as Source Folder").
Now right-click on each of the projects and select "Enable Dependency Management" under Maven menu.
Right-click on shindig-server and select "Properties", and under "Java EE Module Dependencies", select "Maven Dependencies", "shindig-common", "shindig-gadgets" and "shindig-social-api".

You're ready to go ! right click on shindig-server, "Run As"->"Run on Server" and select your Tomcat6 server instance.
in case you run on any error, make sure all the 'jar's needed are in .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/tmp1/wtpwebapps/shindig-server/ and that the el-api.jar is not present in that directory.
