Thanks Patrick for the attached .launch file.!
Thanks David for 'refactoring' and posting the improved shell script.!

Yes Patrick, I want it to run against 'live' code.

Currently building outside of eclipse in ~/incubator-geronimo and using 
David's shell script to do a "maven eclipse" with the 
maven-eclipse-plugin in each of geronimo's modules.  In Eclipse you do 
an "Import | Existing Project into Workspace" for every module you want 
to look at. 

Consider using Mevenide (no typo) http://mevenide.codehaus.org/ to 
integrate Maven into Eclipse.  This gives you --among other things-- 
Maven launcher integration into Eclipse External Tools. 

To be able to use Patrick's .launch file with David's approach,  you 
perform the following steps in Eclipse :-
(1) Create incubator-geronimo as a top-level project in Eclipse with 
"New | Project" and the Java Project wizard. 
(2) Add a "New | Folder" named: target to that project.
(3) "Import ..." from File System
        From directory ~/incubator-geronimo/target into the freshly 
created target folder. 
        Note: "Create selected folders only". 
(4) Copy Geronimo-jars.launch to your eclipse workspace: 
/incubator-geronimo/Geronimo-jars.launch
(5) "Add Projects..." geronimo-system et al to the "Source Lookup Path" 
of that Geronimo-jars configuration. 
(6) Run the pre-built DebugConsole configuration and/or debug it inside 
Eclipse -- and have fun ... 

Find attached a slightly modified Geronimo-jars.launch file for the 
1.0-SNAPSHOT. Note: Not all modules were added to the Source Lookup 
Path, only geronimo-system for the moment.

Cheers,

Wow.  You said refactoring and shell script in the same sentence.  In
public, no less.  You're all kinds of brave.

Ralf, you're my hero :)

Thanks much for the launch file.  At first glance, it looks easy
enough to generate.  If I ever hack something together, I'll make sure
and post it to the list.

I haven't figured this out yet.  At least, how you can run against code 
compiled by Eclipse assuming you have set everything up so it's directly 
compilable by Eclipse.  I get various sorts of exceptions when running. 
  I believe that there must be some non-.class file resources that are 
built by maven, stuck in the associated jars, that can't be found. 
Either that, or there is just a general classpath problem, as the way I 
have tried the launches is to put everything on the classpath when 
running (ie, it may be that a certain classpath hierarchy/graph is 
required to run correctly).

I'm sort of torn between figuring this out vs. trying to get Eclipse to 
just run maven as part of it's build process.  Essentially a double 
compile (I still want Eclipse to build it's versions of the .class 
files, to be able to get instant feed back on errors, get exact code 
completion, and get all the introspective stuff working).

I'll report back when I find something useful.  As I'm not actually 
developing Geronimo code ... for now ... it's not a critical issue for 
me at the moment ... sorry.

There is a page on wiki 
(http://wiki.apache.org/geronimo/FrequentlyAskedQuestions) where you 
could document your "howto use Eclipse/maven"
(The Eclipse issue is at 4.4.2 on this page)
Currently there is only David's bash script, but I guess Patrick's 
method could be there too ;)
