Development Setup for Eclipse IDE

[Frank Gerhardt <Fr...@web.de>]

Rather than installtion the war file in the servlet container I
would like to install/configure jetspeed as an Eclipse project
so that I can use a debugger with it. Is it possible? Has
anybody done that? Any hints?

Frank.

This should not be very difficult. I have the follwing setup:
- Tomcat 4.0.4-b1 (together with Eclipse plugin from SYSDEO)
- A jakarta-jetspeed project containing the 1.3a2 release with sources

The jakarta-jetspeed project is configured as follows:
- src folder with all Java sources
- bin folder with complied Java classes
- lib folder with necessary jars (also include the jetspeed jar as for
some classes no sources are distributed - these are the generated castor
classes)
- webapp folder with jetspeed content

Remember to add all the jars in lib to jetspeed project build path
(project->properties->Java Build Path->libraries tab)!

When you choose to run Tomcat outside Eclipse using the SYSDEO plugin (I
recommend this setup because you don't have to install Tomcat inside
Eclipse) make sure:

- you have a jetspeed context pointing to the project directory in your
Eclipse workspace dir
- you have added the jetspeed project to the Tomcat classpath through
the preferences page in Eclipse using the Tomcat page

Don't ask me about the Tomcat 4.0.4-b1 version. It was the only version
in which I got Jetspeed running together with MMBase, an Open Source
content management system we are currently integrating with Jetspeed. If
you only want to run Jetspeed, you probably will get things running with
4.x production release.
