Using Eclipse (and Mevenide) for ApacheDS...
Hi!
I am new to the list. In order to learn I have decided to develop either a
graphical user interface, or a scripting framework for LDAP administration
on top of ApacheDS.
This will be Eclipse-based (as sadly this is the only development platform I
know...)
Has anybody in the list used Eclipse for ApacheDS development? If yes, could
I have some help with the necessary steps to import the source code as an
Eclipse project? I am having trouble understanding all the dependencies of
the code... and what components/libraries I should have in the environment.
I recently installed the Mevenide Eclipse plugin (a Maven plugin)... perhaps
this will help me to handle the ApacheDS project and do the builds... but I
am pretty unsure about this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your help in advance!

Ok I just found PrincipalStoreImpl ... looks really really thin (few
lines). Is this sufficient? What pattern (Command pattern?) did you
use with this ContextOperation?

Hi !
You have choose Eclipse, and you are not alone (sorry, I've no Idea ;-).
I do use eclipse to develop, so I'm using it on ApacheDS. It works
pretty smoothly, but you'll need to set up your env.
1) you have to use 3.0.X version (I suppose that 3.1.0 M6 works, too,
but for compatibility sake, use the current released version)
2) Do NOT use JDK 1.5 for ApacheDS, because it does not work with some
pieces of code (AOP :[ )
3) Install Mevenide, following the doc.
4) Install subclipse, following the doc.
5) Install Maven 1.0.2 (follow the doc, you'll need to create a
MAVEN_HOME environment variable and a ?maven repository - not sure -)
6) Checkout the lastest sources in a separated directory (let's say
<home>/ApacheDS)
7) cd to <home>/ApacheDS/directory/trunk
8) Compile the project
# maven multiproject:install
This will feed the Maven repo
9) Have a coffee. Or two ;)
10) I will send you the .classpath and .project I'm using, it will be
better, you will spare some time ! (as I have to go, you'll get them in
4 hours ...)
11) Enjoy ! And welcome !!!
