Your words are bit of a contrast to the instructions "build the easy way" http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/BuildingInEclipse#HBuildingWithM2Eclipse28Easy29 As a maven rookie i'm just looking for the easisest solution. So I followed the above instructions 'like a slave' and it seemed to work. Except that the workbench looks like a mess - lots of Java errors and Maven errors - see screenshots above. I haven't yet installed maven - only the m2eclipse plugin - should I do that - and if so is the most recent version ok ? What is the recommendation ? Rookie question #2: Once i install maven manually and run 'mvn install' from command line as you say - will the IDE reflect all the results of the build process - that is after refreshing all the Java errors that became apparent after importing from maven would disappear ? Rookie question #3: Is it advisable to just copy and paste an .m2 repository to another workstation (other VM) to save there the long repository download times ? - im still learning - thanks Andreas _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
