Newb: IDE + Maven?
Hi All,
I'm a Tika newb but I have some format expertise with RTF, PDF, DOC,
PPT, XLS, OOXML, blah blah blah. I want to contribute to Tika.
Unfortunately, I'm finding this Maven thing hard to use in conjunction
with Eclipse and m2e. I can do everything from command-line, but I
want to do it in an IDE so I can debug more easily.
The following is what I'm experiencing.
1) In Eclipse, File -> Import
2) Maven -> Check out Maven Projects from SCM
3) svn : http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tika/tags/0.10/
4) Change "0.10-SNAPSHOT" to "0.10" in "./tika-bundle-it/pom.xml" on line 25.
5) Maven Problems
Description: Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration:
org.ops4j.pax.exam:maven-paxexam-plugin:1.2.2:generate-config
(execution: default, phase: generate-resources)
Resource: pom.xml
Path: /tika-bundle-it
Location: line 87
Type: Maven Project Build Lifecycle Mapping Problem
I looked up the problem and came up with this link:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/M2E_plugin_execution_not_covered
However, I don't understand what is actually going wrong nor how to
fix it. Could anyone give me a hand?
Thanks.

Hi Albert,
For me, running mvn eclipse:clean eclipse:eclipse from the top directory results in Eclipse projects that I can import & use for development.

Hi Jukka,
At first, I was hesitating to remove the IT tests. But then I
realised that "tika-bundle-it" does almost nothing (i.e.
"BundleTest.java" just tests a text and a PDF file).
So I've taken your advise and deleted it from my Eclipse workspace.
Everything is working fine now. Thanks!
p.s.: I am indeed using Eclipse Indigo and the latest m2e.

Have you tried the latest m2e version that comes with Eclipse Indigo?
Apart from the nasty plugin execution issues it works really well for
me.
Here's how I set up a Tika checkout in Eclipse:
Import...
Existing Maven Projects
Enter /path/to/tika
De-select tika-bundle-it because of the plugin execution issues
Click Finish
The result is a perfectly configured set of Eclipse projects, one for
each Tika component.
I guess we should also add some workarounds for the tika-bundle-it component.
BR,
Jukka Zitting

What I tend to do is build the project with maven on the command line,
then unpack the tika-bundle jar.
Then, I add a regular (non maven) project to eclipse, and add the jars
from the bundle as dependencies by hand. It's fiddly to do, but it doesn't
require me to win the battle with the maven eclipse project...
