> "http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/RunningCassandraInEclipse" has demonstrated the procedure to manually configure Eclipse to make Cassandra runnable in it. But why not doing this automatically by adding an Ant target that is responsible the generation of Eclipse project description files? Actually, another Apache project, Hive, has done the similar things.
> Moreover, the aforementioned setup guide has the defects, which was learned from my experience of building Cassandra in Eclipse:
> 1) The "bin/" directory of Cassandra contains the executable scripts while it is the output destination of Eclipse project build by default. Therefore, unintentionally using Eclipse project build will break the original executable scripts in the "bin/" directory.
> 2) The default builder cannot build the project correctly. Instead, a customized builder based Ant builder should be created.
> For these reasons, I suggest to add a new Ant target in "build.xml" to generate the project description files. Meanwhile, another target is required to clean these files.
