Help getting a development env up and running with m2eclipse (+svn)
and the latest 3.0 code
Hi,
I wrote on another thread but my problem is slightly different so I'm
creating another.
So, I have been having some problems getting an environment up and running.
I am particularly interested in using the latest and greatest code, and
would prefer to be using the 3.0 branch from svn if possible... I haven't
done a heap of java development (mainly .net), though I have done some web
stuff in eclipse (with spring), but it was a few years ago and it was never
more than about 20% of my time. There are many things that will be obvious
that I'm probably missing.
I am very interested in developing (and/or extending existing) mailets. I
realise it is probably possible to do as some do and just create a project
with my mailets and not have the whole thing in eclipse but things still
seem to be changing pretty rapidly in the 3.0 branch so I'd rather keep
up-to-date if possible.
I suppose my main problem at the moment is that eclipse keeps crashing when
I try and open any file. I have installed the latest Java EE IDE from the
eclipse site, and into that I installed the latest m2eclipse (with extras
for scm) and subclipse. I have Win7 enterprise x64 with the latest Oracle
JDK installed, and I suppose the only slightly non-std thing I did was to
specify -vm in eclipse.ini so it pointed to the jdk javaw instead of the jre
(to stop the maven warnings). I managed to get the projects by using "create
new project from scm" for m2eclipse but it ends up pulling hundreds of megs
of stuff even if only get
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/james/server/(there seems to be some
branch with lots and lots of stuff in it - not sure
if it's needed or not...).
I realise that the docs aren't yet properly up-to-date for 3.0 - I'd be more
than willing to help with docs (and/or dev work) if I can get up and running
reasonably quickly (otherwise my boss will say I have to use something
else...). Can anyone give me (simple) instructions on how to get debugging
with the latest svn code?
Thanks heaps!
Anton

Sounds like your architects don't develop anymore, some I know have

No need to convince me! I would have done far more Java stuff were it not
for our director of development (I also understand the true value
proposition of FOSS - something he doesn't). At the end of his university
studies he did an internship at Microsoft, and sometimes I think he was
LITERALLY brainwashed... It just gets a bit tiring when you do 10-11 hour
days and then have to come home and do programming stuff for pleasure... so
I stuck with mainly .net stuff. It's not ALL horrible, after all :-).
We have some quite complicated inbound processing needs and the James
architecture looks just perfect. A couple of our architects did this big
requirements study/brainstorm on how it should look but ended up losing all
the work they did. After a few hours they couldn't find what they had come
up with. I'm not even supposed to be developping any more (starting out on a
consulting role but the technical situation in my department is so dire I'm
going to clean that up before they let me go and see real clients :-)) but
we need something, James looks perfect for the job and I'm certainly not
redoing work they have already done and lost!

I have a tendency to get excited when I stumble upon very well done open

currently have! Hopefully this time I will have some time to contribute back

3.0.2, 1.6 and _ are now fixed in what we call "SVN trunk".
The website is only deployed on releases, so it will be updated on
upcoming beta1 release.

There is a sentence which states "(*) The screenshots on this page
contain an outdated list of projects. Refer to
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/james/server/ for the accurate list."
The next version of the web site will have a red box around this.
For the final release, updated screenshots will be placed.
The Main class now resides in the james-server-container-spring module.

Yes, this is a conf problem.
I'm not sure, but did you also copy the conf folder (with all xml file)
under the root (so on same level container-spring.
Also, what is the content of your mailetcontainer.xml file that resides
in that newly created folder?

This one was a very easy catch. I suppose it is preferable to have the
default config files ready for a production situation rather than a dev
one.

There has been some head-banging but I haven't done any for a while so no
worries :-). I fully realise that keeping instructions up-to-date for a very
quickly moving target (new branch getting ready for beta) is far more work
than is warranted. You guys have been very helpful and quick to answer my
(silly) questions - that's all that matters in the end!

I hope you didn't bang your head on the door with these instructions not

We must release more often to avoid this.

Again, these are probably very obvious stupid things I am getting wrong -
thanks for your patience!

Thanks for your quick replies - yes, I have read pretty much everything I
could get my hands on. Unfortunately, I've gotten lazy and am used to the
very tight integration of MS products - there is only one way to do it and
either you have everything and it works or you don't and it won't... One
slightly confusing thing is that there are several conflicting statements
about versions. For example, on the page mentioned above it says "Maven
2.2.1 - This is a Java-tailored, XML-configured, extensible build or make
system.". In the build.txt (and readme.txt) in svn it says you need 3.0.2...
The webpage says you need the 1.5 jdk, the readme.txt says 1.6 is mandatory.
The webpage says you need to set or export MAVEN-OPTS - isn't this rather
$ export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m"
than
$ export "MAVEN-OPTS=-Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m"
? (I'm using ubuntu 11.04 x64 at home, where I am also trying to get this
working!).
Also, if we are assuming that we should use trunk - when you import into
eclipse there are no longer any james-server-spring-* projects - so how do
we get around to debugging? Is the main class you see in the screenshot
somewhere else now?
Thanks for your time!
Cheers
Anton

Hi,
Yes, this is the place to look at.
The first step you could take is to build via command line with 'mvn
package -DskipTests=true' for example.
Once ok (dependencies downloaded,...), give it a try in eclipse with the
tutorial and send us any feedback so we can enhance it.
Tks,
