The document is about how to build Geronimo an eclipse project. |
Before getting started, you have to intall the following software:
You could import all the Geronimo projects or sub-projects in the workspace. But a more efficient way is to import only the modules that you want to work on.
You are advised to import all the modules the first time you work with Geronimo builds in Eclipse.
Generate the Eclipse projects for Geronimo sub-projects by invoking the following command from Geronimo top directory:
mvn -o eclipse:eclipse |
The very first time you must omit the "-o" parameter so that it will download the maven-eclipse-plugin.
|
It is possible to import only a few modules in the workspace by running the above command from each of the modules directory. In this case the changes made in one module will not be visible to other modules without rebuilding the modified module with mvn.
It is possible edit |
If you are planning to modify a single geronimo module, you can import only that module in the workspace by running the following commands:
cd modules\a_module or cd maven-plugins\a_plugin mvn -o eclipse:eclipse |
After you create Eclipse projects for Geronimo, it is time you import these projects to the Eclipse workspace.
M2_REPO
and set it to your maven2 repository directory. On linux this directory is usually located at
~/.m2/repository |
"%USERPROFILE%\.m2\repository" |
Note: If you are working on a builder module, for example. geronimo-tomcat6-builder, you must add xmlbeans classes to the build path.
.svn
to the *Filtered Resources field.
You can build each Geronimo module by right clicking on the project, and selecting mvn options.
