Setting up environment locally
Hi All,
I am trying to set up struts2 environment locally so that i can debug
source code.idea is to get insight how its working and how flow is going on
so that if possible i can contribute in future.
I tried to find information about setting it up but did not get any
information.
Can anyone help me to do that.
I have already taken struts2 source code checkout on my local machine
Thanks
-S

I'm not sure what the question is, exactly. Are you asking how to attach
source code to the libraries in Eclipse? Are you asking how to build Struts?

Although I'm also working with IDEA only nowadays, I'm pretty sure that
it is better to chose "Import existing Maven Project" in a current
Eclipse release rather than having mvn eclipse:eclipse generate an
eclipse setup.

There are two ways:
- unittests
- real small webapp, i.e. struts2-blank from apps folder
With unittests it's obvious - put breakpoint in any place of source
code and start unittest in Debug mode. With webapp is a bit harder -
open it with IDE (I'm using IDEA as the best one), setup Runtime
configuration (next to Run button) as Maven and jettty:run. Open
linked sourcecode i.e. Dispatcher class and put breakpoint in some
method i.e. serviceAction(). Start browser, hit url and wait when
breakpoint will appear.
If you don't where to put breakpoint start with entry points - filters
- and then use step by step debugging to discover the source :-)
Maybe I should make a small screencast about that ;-)

Yes, thats how I do it. In addition of course to JUnit tests, which come
a long with all plugs.
So if you "just" want to look into f.e. the JSON plugin, make sure you
don't miss the Junit tests which do not require a lot of more settings

You are right - feel free to post your experiences. We could pick them
up as documentation

Thats right, but worth every penny. :-)

Hi Dave,
May be i was not able to put my question in proper way.
I want to get my self familiar with struts2 internals, so my question was
how we can set up development environment.
All who actually working on struts2 development must have configured there
working environment where they test bugs as well fix them before pushing
them to final distribution/release.
@Christian
Thanks for the help, i was not able to see any such steps in the documents,
will try with the steps you mentioned, regarding IntelliJ, i don not think
it comes as free ;)
Thanks

With eclipse i think you should do:
mvn eclipse:eclipse
to create eclipse related files. Please note, I have migrated away from
Eclipse because IntelliJ is a lot better meanwhile. Just saying.

It's not silly, only recently i mentioned this is being a huge problem
in this project.
That said, maybe the easiest way is to set up an own little project (use
mvn archetypes to generate it) and then open classpath settings in
eclipse. Instead of using included jars, select the checked out project
as dependency.
HTH!

Hi Lukas,
I have maven as well Eclipse in place, should i just build them and than i
am ready to start (Confused :()
Not sure how to proceed from there, like how i can use that code base to
debug it. May be my question is silly but as of now i am not able to
visualize that.
Struts has so many modules and not sure how to start :(
Thanks

So you need Apache Maven to build the packages and IDE which support
Maven based projects, ie. IntelliJ IDEA
