general project setup and utilization questions

[Ryan Zoerner <ry...@gmail.com>]

Dear Team,

I've assembled a small list of questions which I don't have answers to yet.
It is probable that some or all of you have encountered these questions
in the process of working on this project. Therefore, if you have a quick
answer, that would be helpful.

Thank you.

Ryan


eclipse setup questions:

I set cxf-systests-jaxrs up as a faceted Java Web Project in Eclipse, but
because I tried it in several different ways, I am wondering: is there some
preferred way to the projects up in eclipse? (e.g., Java, Dynamic Web, etc.
)

------

src/
    test.java
    test.resources

eclipse cannot resolve import="org.apache.(...)

how do I set file-folder-structure up so that I have

src.test.java/
and
src.test.resources/

as src folders on the build path. Eclipse won't let me touch those
subfolders from configure buildpath (wizard?). What I would like to do is
add src "folders" which contain those multiple folders in one src folder
path.

Junit and Eclipse

I've never used Junit before, but I understand that it is a convenience
library and reporting system. I see the Junit commands such as assert(),
but I am unsure about how to make use of this in Eclipse. Because there
is no main() method, how are the tests run? Is there some central file
that calls these? Is that file part of Eclipse or the project?

Server Deployment

I have a Glassfishv3 server installed and setup in Eclipse, but I don't
see any infrastructure for deploying web-archives (with the project).
So, basically, do you deploy this to the server to test parts of it,
and if so, is there some sort of test-container that you are using
to encapsulate the parts that you want to test?

File Search:

I'm having problems searching for strings in files because of what I think
are special characters in the files. This is the ouput:

Problems encountered during text search.
File 'cxf-systests-jaxrs/target/site/pmd.html' has been skipped, problem
while reading: ('${outputEncoding}').
${outputEncoding}

Now, is there any way to use file search so that I can get around this
problem. I know about regexp for instance, but if there is some default
answer I would like to know.

-------------------------

Again, thanks for your help.

I always use a very simple procedure for building my eclipse workspace:
1. Checkout the source from the trunk using svn or git
2. Run 'mvn install -Pfastinstall' in the trunk
3. Run 'mvn -Psetup.eclipse' - this will create a 'workspace' folder in
trunk/../workspace
4. Start Eclipse, open a trunk/../workspace, import all the existing
projects from the trunk (File/Import/Existing Projects into workspace),
cxf-rt-frontend-jaxrs and systests/jaxrs are the two main modules, but they
have main or test dependencies on many other CXF modules....
5. Go to say systests/jaxrs/.../JAXRSClientServerBookTest, add a true flag
(as a 2nd param) to the launchServer(BookServer.class), add breakpoint is
JAXRSInInterceptor.handleMessage,  JAXRSOutInterceptor.handleMessage, and in
JAXRSInvoker, and select any of the tests and choose Debug it as a JUnit
test option...

I don't usually use this option. For now, running the system tests is the
simplest option to see what is going on. I'll also have understand how EJBs
can be deployed/debugged, lets chat about it at the next stage

Try setting up the workspace as suggested above, I've never seen this
problem
