I dont' think you have successfully located the problem. The system plan doesn't have any dependencies, so the message is appropriate. You are comparing the System and Server classpaths.

IIUC the System configuration does rely on a manifest classpath entry in server.jar that includes many of the jars in lib. Perhaps including those in an eclipse property would help?

You can definitely implement a different Repository that looks elsewhere, but I'm not sure that is advisable simply for use in eclipse. It might be useful to have one that looks directly in your local maven repository. IIUC the current Repository uses the system info gbean to locate the geronimo repository.

Hi,

I'm looking at the System deployment plan and the section where the dependencies are being defined. The entries contain relative paths which in an install image resolve back into the "repository" folder, as expected.

(1) Is there any way at startup I can specify a different location on the filesystem where these relative paths can be attempted to be resolved? Is there a system variable that can be set?

(2) Would someone mind pointing me in the code where these dependency entries are loaded and resolved?...

Where I'm trying to go with this is to create a true development environment using Eclipse, so that the server can be launched within the IDE without having to do a remote debug connection.

The blocking issue I'm currently having is that when the server is starting and the configurations are loaded the classpath's don't resolve and the debug statement says...

19:10:47,901 DEBUG [Configuration] ClassPath for org/apache/geronimo/System resolved to []

rather then...

17:58:01,712 DEBUG [Configuration] ClassPath for org/apache/geronimo/Server resolved to [file:/C:/geronimo-snapshot/repository/geronimo-spec/jars/geronimo- spec-j2ee-1.4-rc4.jar, file:/C:/geronimo-snapshot/repository/geronimo-spec/jars/geronimo- spec-j2ee-jacc-1.0-rc4.jar, file:/C:/geronimo-snapshot/repository/geronimo/jars/geronimo- activation-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar, file:/C:/geronimo-snapshot/repository/geronimo/jars/geronimo-j2ee-1.0- SNAPSHOT.jar,
....

If there was a way to specify a different absolute path to be used to append to the relative paths, I think I would be golden!

Thanks in advance.

Sachin.
