maven eclipse plugin and wtp
Hi, I have a maven project (that is web project by its nature) and I want to run it in eclipse as WTP project. I found command (on http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-eclipse-plugin/wtp.html): mvn -Dwtpversion=R7 eclipse:eclipse Where wtpversion can be R7, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 or none (default). As current wtp version is 3.1, can I use mvn -Dwtpversion=3.1 eclipse:eclipse Or is there a new or prefered way to do this? Thanks a lot -MB -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/maven-eclipse-plugin-and-wtp-tp24808685p24808685.html Sent from the Maven - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
Re: maven eclipse plugin and wtp
Sorry that came out wrong, I know I cannot do -Dwtpversion=3.1, but I am wondering what are my alternatives. It seems there should be a new new way to do this, and I cannot find it. Or maybe 2.0 works as good as 3.1 Thanks -MB massive.boisson wrote: As current wtp version is 3.1, can I use mvn -Dwtpversion=3.1 eclipse:eclipse -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/maven-eclipse-plugin-and-wtp-tp24808685p24808760.html Sent from the Maven - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
RE: maven eclipse plugin and wtp
Thank you guys, I do need to debug. It was not obvious at all to me how to import existing java web maven project into eclipse wtp project using m2 eclipse plugin. And I tried to figure it out. Do you have a hint or two? Thanks -MB mgainty wrote: m2 is the better solution if you need to debug curious as to what term CI means?

When you specify the WTP version, you are telling the plugin which type of configuration to generate. Eclipse has the ability to import from older versions, so even though WTP version 2.0 is from '08, it shouldn't hurt to use 2.0, then let eclipse import it. At the same time, when using the eclipse plugin, you should ask yourself which you want to depend on more, eclipse or maven? Eclipse and maven both handle many similar tasks, but if you use the eclipse functionality, you are locked into eclipse... There are many eclipse tools that are helpful, but for building and testing, I prefer to leave it to maven. That being the case, what does WTP give you that is most important? IMO, it's the ability to run your web-app right from the IDE... You can install a tomcat runtime right in WTP and tell eclipse to run your web-app in it. If this is the feature you are looking for, then I would say that you could do one better and use the maven-tomcat-plugin to get the same functionality. Instead of using the maven-eclipse-plugin to generate eclipse configuration files, try using the m2eclipse eclipse plugin to have eclipse become more maven-aware. Then, you can create an eclipse run configuration that launches 'mvn tomcat:run'. You will have the ability to debug your web-app using the eclipse debugger. In addition, you will also have the nifty pom editory that comes with m2eclipse. This will leave you with a project that is more portable across IDEs, in case someone on your team later decides to use something other than eclipse. In addition, your build/test process can be run in a CI environment like hudson. -Wes -- Wes Wannemacher Head Engineer, WanTii, Inc. Need Training? Struts, Spring, Maven, Tomcat...

RE: maven eclipse plugin and wtp
Let me answer my own question. After searching the m2 forum, I found: http://www.nabble.com/How-to-convert-or-use-a-Maven-project-as-a-dynamic-web-project--to23430177.html#a23432587 For anyone looking to do this, it's very simple, you just need to make sure you have installed m2e WTP Integration optional feature installed. You just import/general/maven project Again, thanks, and sorry for extra posting. massive.boisson wrote: Thank you guys, I do need to debug.
