Creating a development environment in Eclipse with the latest trunk version

[Sascha Fröhlich <sa...@gmail.com>]

Hello everybody,

I was trying to setup my Eclipse with the newest trunk version, it seems 
the layout has changed a bit since 2.3.1 :-)

I checked out the source in a Java project, everything works fine with 
ant, too.

I believe when I want to develop in a "sub project" like 
imapserver-function, I need to set its src-folder as "Source folder", is 
that right?
But then it lacks many library dependencies, how do I set them correctly?

Can anyone give me a hint or two? :-)

Regards,
Sascha Froehlich

I think i got it working with m2eclipse, thats a nice tool :-)

I thought about the STARTTLS feature, but I'll start a discussion on
server-dev later... still busy having a look at the "post-stable-evolution"
:-)

I've run into the very same problem, and finally I'm able to figure out,
unfortunately the eclipse project files, which the ant build script sets up
have some problems, so I think, you should try to use "mvn eclipse:eclipse",
and after, you can import as eclipse projects all the modules (the only
suprising thing is that every module named as 'james-server-x-y' instead of
the expected 'x-y' from the module directory).

Which one ? I hope, not the simpler, working one ...

You have to add all the jars from the stage folder as library for your 
project.

Then you have to add "main/src" "main/resources" "test/src" and 
"test/resources" folders for each module (most top level directories 
there are modules) as source folders for eclipse.

It should work.

If you are a maven user you may be interested in the approach I use: I 
usually use m2eclipse (Maven integration for eclipse) plugin for eclipse 
and load I run "Maven => Enable Dependency Management" "Maven => Enable 
Nested Modules". Even if we still use ant as our build tool we happen to 
have up to date m2 descriptors (pom.xml) in the source tree.

About working in "imapserver-function" please make sure you start a 
thread on server-dev@j.a.o list (developers list) because we currently 
have 2 imap implementations and Robert is dealing with them in order to 
remove one soon, so you may want to get in touch with him so you work on 
code that won't be dismissed ;-)

Stefano
