Re: car-maven-plugin and GEP
Hi bongosdude, yes you make a good point. I suppose my answer would depend on
what exactly you're trying to accomplish. If you want to import existing J2EE
artifacts into Eclipse my previous instructions obviously apply and will work.
However, if you want to establish your development environment such that your
J2EE artifacts will build successfully in both maven and Eclipse you might
consider an approach that is somewhat similar to what we do for the GEP
development. For the GEP we maintain both our maven files (e.g., pom.xml) and the
Eclipse files (i.e., .classpath, .project files) in our SVN repository. This
allows us to import our development projects into our Eclipse workspace and thus
we operate directly on the artifacts/files (as they were extracted) from SVN.
Some of these techniques are documented on our website here:
----->
http://geronimo.apache.org/development-tools.html#DevelopmentTools-DevelopingGEPandGeronimo
These work very well for us, but I'm sure there are other alternatives that might
work for you possibly using the maven Eclipse plugin that you mention, or maybe
the m2eclipse plugin which seems to be heavily used. Does this help ??

Re: car-maven-plugin and GEP
Posted by bongosdude <bo...@gmail.com>.
Yes,
I will explore more on what you suggest here. My goal is to setup and
environment for both dev and QA so that we can do both GEP and automatic
build for QA.
