Maven2Eclipse with multi-module projects?
Hello all,
I am a devoted IntelliJ Idea user with Eclipse experience trying to get my
team acclimated with Maven. I'm having trouble sharing a multi-module Maven
project with my Eclipse brethren through Subversion. In Idea I can merely
check out the project root folder and everything just works. However I've
noticed several issues in Eclipse all regarding the m2eclipse plugin. When I
check out the project using either Subclipse or Subversive I get the option
to check out as a Maven2 project. Checking out from root does not bring in
the child projects as Maven2 enabled projects. If I checkout the projects
individually the m2Eclipse plugin then proceeds to define a new pom for the
project upon checking out. This completely hoses the build path and gets
everybody confused as they have to manually redefine the pom and restore the
dependencies. I've tried several attempts at checking out the project, all
with no success. I've even tried the Q4E plug in which doesn't seem to allow
me to configure an external Maven install or custom settings xml. What is
the best practice for using Eclipse with a multi-module project?

yes, you probably need Q4E 0.4.0

Thanx for such quick replies! In Q4E the only thing I see in the prefeneces
pages is the ability to configure src/java-doc downloads as well as
archetype url stuff. I need the ability to point it to a team-shared
settings.xml or at least unconstrained ability to configure all of the
options that would be present in settings.xml. I'll try looking for a later
version as maybe this is a recent addition? I did install Q4E about a month
or two ago. One other issue is with propsed flat-dir structure. Does the
release plugin still have issues with flat structure? Has that been
resolved? I'm really looking for an approach that won't leave me stuck again
in about another month when we start cutting releases. Has anyone worked on
a multi-module project with Eclipse and cut releases successfully? If so can
you explain the best approach? There are a number of issues here that are
worrying me.

Eclipse is quite limited for multiprojects
http://code.google.com/p/q4e/wiki/ImportingMultiprojects
In Q4E you can configure the settings.xml in the Preferences. There's
no need to point to an external maven installation as it is already
included in the plugin

It works fine here. I suggest to do it that way. No problems, yet.
run mvn eclipse:eclipse in the project root before importing.

I checkout on the command line, then go to eclipse to import the files
from the repository. I'm currently using Subclipse within the IDE, but
in all honesty don't do much with it at the moment.
Thanks,
Chris

Thanx Chris,
I'm going to try this out tonight. I'm not sure I understand the
import/disconnect and connect thing, though. Do you checkout from
Eclipse or
the Command line? If from Eclipse then I assume all of the folders come
down
at once? Is this where you disconnect the children and check them out in
a
different location? I've tried Subversive checking out only the parent
w/o
recursing, then checked out one of the children and that seems to work.
Are
there any potential pitfalls with this approach? I'd rather not refactor
to
a flat structure because I've read about an open bug regarding the
release
plugin with flat structures. Is that still an issue? Should we abandon
the
plug in all together and just use the cmd line? Should we use Subclipse
or
Subversive? All of these questions are nagging me. Thank you sooo much
for
any/all help on the matter.

I've gotten the project and submodules within eclipse by checking
everything out to the filesystem then doing an Import --> Maven Project.
A dialog should come up asking which modules to import into the
workspace. The only issue I've found is eclipse can't handle the
subversion configuration at the submodule level. I have to manually
disconnect the parent module from subversion before connecting the
children. I don't think that's a maven2 problem though.
