About source code and eclipse

[Michael Giannakopoulos <mi...@gmail.com>]

Hello guys,
I would like to ask a general question. I have downloaded the
geronimo-3.0-M1 source code. Also i have installed in eclipse the web tools
and the geronimo plugin so as to be able to create a new server project in
eclipse... When i click New->Other->Project->Server a window appears that
asks me to choose a server. I choose Geronimo v3.0 Server and then i click
next button. Then the wizard asks for an Application Server Installation
Directory which i cannot find... I have done mvn clean install to the source
files of geronimo-3.0-M1 but i cannot find anywhere the Apache Geronimo v3.0
installation... Any thoughts??? I'm using linux ubuntu 10.04... Thank you in
advance!

What GEP expects is exactly the unpacked geronimo build. Specify the
directoy where unpacked build locates when the wizard asks for an
Application Server Installation Directory.

Hi Michael,

I don't really know what GEP expects, however....

when you build geronimo with maven it just puts together and installs into your local maven repo a lot of artifacts, including several server assemblies.  In order to get a usable server you need to unpack one of them into a convenient location.  The assemblies that are likely to be useful are all build under assemblies.  What I usually do is just unpack the one I'm interested in right in the target folder,

e.g.

cd assemblies/geronimo-jetty8-javaee6
tar xzf geronimo-jetty8-javaee6-3.0-SNAPSHOT.tar.gz

There is also a geronimo-maven-plugin that you can use to unpack assemblies, start the server, deploy apps, etc.  We use this in a lot of integration tests mostly under testsuite.

hope this helps
