Ofbiz and Eclipse (or IntelliJ)
Hi.
Is anybody using a IDE to compile ofbiz? I mean not compiling through
ant but though the built in compiler.
I tried using the .classpath/.project files provided in svn but with
no good results.

You can use Ant from Eclipse (I guess it's what most of us do). Did you search for "eclipse in the wiki ?

Thanx, I do like using command line but still i like to use an editor
with refactoring support/formatting help when needed.

BTW, you can run the ant scripts right from Eclipse if you don't like
the command line. Open the top level build.xml and select the ant target
in ourline view. Right click on target and choose "Run as ant build."
You can also configure the Ofbiz to run from Eclipse (Without Ant
script). It is bit more involved and let me know if u really need to know.

Thank you. The eclipse files do work. I had tried them already and it
did not compile. I'm sure i had messed up with them during the import.
Now I feel more comfortable

I am not sure about IntelliJ but Eclipse .project and .classpath files
are in SVN. I generally checkout the OFbiz from SVN as Java project and
it works without any problem.
Advantage of Eclipse could be code completion, nice editor, and compile
time errors in the editor itself as Eclipse uses incremental compiler.
However, you would still need the ant scripts to build and run the Ofbiz
containers.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,

What would you then add in the classpath for your module?
Altough this is helping me a lot I cant't believe that there is no
developer of the core ofbiz using an ide "properly" configured, with a
maintained project file. Is everybody using command line to compile?

I'm not sure that would make sense, as they will have lots of internal
(to my system) modules and dependencies (I depend on other systems than
ofbiz).
Here's what you can do:
1) Create new project (java project) - point this at your module under
${OFBIZ_HOME}/hot-deploy (I use maven 2, so to start from scratch I
would go to the hot-deploy dir and do a new "mvn archetype:create" in
that dir).
2) for IntelliJ, go to File->New Module, create new Java Module, import
and existing src root, point it at ${OFBIZ_HOME}.
3) in the ant module for intellij, add the top level build.xml as an ant
build file.
as an alternate to 2) you could add each application and framework dir
separately as an intellij module - if I were going to work on ofbiz core
that is what I would do.
your mileage may vary.

That is an interesting approach. Would you mind sending me the
intellij project files?

I use the plugin for intellij to use the ant build.
Since I'm not working on ofbiz core - I made my module under hot-deploy
a separate intellij module, and set it to depend on the top level ofbiz
build.
You could probably get the whole build to build with intellij, but you
would need to go into the various lib directories and add those jaras as
module dependencies in the intellij module settings dialog. It would
take a long while to do it for evrey dep.
