Need some clarity with using Maven 2 alongside the Eclipse and Subversion
Hello,
I am new to these tools and am to understand how they can be configured to
work together. Basically, I have these tools installed and they are working
fine independently, but need to link them up if possible.
My Maven repository is located at C:\Documents and
Settings\Victor\.m2\repository. I have set the environment variable M2_REPO
to point to this location within Eclipse.
I have checked out the source code into a directory called myapp on C drive
(C:\myapp) using Subversion. And have run the following command in the myapp
directory;
mvn eclipse:eclipse -DdownloadSource=true
When I launch Eclipse, it asks me to specify a workspace. Thus my question;
Is the eclipse workspace;
1) the location of the Maven repository, C:\Documents and
Settings\Victor\.m2\repository ?
2) the location containing the source code, C:\myapp ?
3) any arbitary location on the filesystem?
Thnkx
Victor

File -> New... -> Project... -> Java Project
Project name: <select one>
(x) Create project from existing source
Select the directory that contains your sources. If you executed "mvn eclipse:eclipse" in that directory before, by clicking the "Next >" button the source and output directories shown in the dialog should be filled with the values generated and used by Maven.

Hi there,
I have to say that this is not the method I user when I import an
existing project, (that was created through the maven eclipse plugin).
I removed several projects from my workspace to double check and I
was able to view everything fine with the previous method metntioned
in the email.
Not sure what to advise, anyone else?

Trent,
I have just had to import again via;
File > Import > File system
to point to my source code location. I can now see the source tree with
Eclipse and can navigate to the java files. Is this the correct way of
making a source directory available to eclipse?
Thankx
Victor.

I am guessing that you are viewing the project through the java
perspective and that you have used the lestest version of the eclipse
maven plugin. Would you be able to post the directory structure of
you basic project.
I am under the impression that you have used the quickstart archetype
a shown in the document from the maven homepage? If not the are you
using the archetype that generates webapps?

Hi Trent,
Thankx for the info. Its has advanced my understanding of the various
resources.
I have successfully imported the project and it appears to have been built
by Eclipse successfully. However, I am not able to view the java source code
tree. I can see the project OK. I thought importing the project would give
access to the source tree under this project. Correct?
Thankx
Victor

Re: Need some clarity with using Maven 2 alongside the Eclipse and Subversion

Hi Victor,
I set my workspace to an arbitary location of the filesystem. I then
use the import an existing project menu action to make eclipse aware
of the new maven project, Eclipse will then understand the project
because you executed the eclipse plugin with the myapp directory.
This can be completed through following actions
1. file >> import >> select the General folder icon >> Existing
Projects intoWorkspace
2. Set the 'select root directory' valeu to the myapp folder
3. Make sure the project is ticked.
4. click finish.
Any eclispe subversion plugins should also operate on the project and
you con commit chnage back into the SVN repo.
Hope this helps

3):
The workspace is an arbitrary location on your hard disk where Eclipse
- stores your IDE configuration settings, i.e. window arrangement, open editors, CVS configuration data, available and opened projects, ...
- creates new projects in if you don't specify a different location
Depending on your needs it is enough to just use one single workspace for all of your projects. OTOH, if you work on a couple of huge projects that all consist of different subprojects, you should think about using separate workspaces for each one of these projects. Otherwise you risk losing the overview (which subproject belongs to which top-level project)...
