Re: Eclipse and Maven best practice
I use Eclipse and the External Tools configuration to run mvn from within eclipse if needed. I used to have Eclipse compiling to a different classes directory and that worked fine for many projects, but recently I use 'mvn jetty:run' all the time so that when I save a java file in Eclipse it gets compiled immediately by Eclipse and the change will be instantly visible in Jetty.

Re: Eclipse and Maven best practice
I don't currently use any of the Maven Eclipse IDE integration plugins
and just use
Eclipse's external tools facility to run mvn for any selected folder
in Eclipse's 'Package Explorer' pane.
At least this way you know Maven is behaving as it does from the
command line, for new dependency I add to pom.xml and run
eclipse:eclipse, but this
can be done from inside Eclipse aswell.
e.g.
Set up a new External Tool as follows :
Name: mvn clean install
Location: ${env_var:M2_HOME}/bin/mvn.bat
Working Directory: ${resource_loc}
Arguments: clean install
Then just select the folder or project in the Eclipse Java Tree
(folder must have a pom.xml in it) then select this external tool 'mvn
clean install' - once run once it will be on the drop down.
You can set up the common maven goals like this, then share the
External tools configuration by using the 'Common' tab and specifying
a folder that is under SCM.
Also can set up an 'General Project' in Eclipse that points to your
local repo folder, this allows you to search this area and open pom
files if necessary.
I would gladly swap to a Plugin but there always seems to be
unexpected side effects.

Re: Eclipse and Maven best practice
Thierry is definitely right that you can run into inconsistencies between the incremental Eclipse builds versus Maven builds. I've had to do occasionally some Project-Cleans to get rid of the red. Wayne I would DEFINITELY upgrade to an Eclipse 3.x product. I think in general you would be better off (provided the SAP bits are still compatible). Do you use any Eclipse based plugin such as m2eclipse or q4e with NWDS? If not and its possible, I would definitely encourage you to at least try it. -aps On 9/17/07, Wayne Fay [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Since we're talking about Eclipse...

Re: Eclipse and Maven best practice
$ mvn eclipse:m2clipse seems to works really well for me in Eclipse3.3. It creates a M2Libraries that automatically loads the jars into eclipse classpath. The only trouble I have is if I want my project to have WTP nature enable... I've used $ mvn eclipse:m2clipse -Dwtpversion=1.5 but then I have to do some manual clean up before able to run(like enable M2LIB in J2EE modules in project settings.).

Re: Eclipse and Maven best practice

Re: Eclipse and Maven best practice
Maven and Eclipse are tricky to get together well. I use m2, and from time to time I've lost hours of otherwise productive time trying to figure out why things were not working. I could name a lot of issues, like dependency problems and removed compiled classes that weren't being rebuilt. Sometimes a simple right click + Disable Maven + Enable Maven would suffice, sometimes it won't. Not to mention the _REALLY_ annoying issue that m2 only build the correct eclipse project if the project compiles successfully. That means that if your 300+ class project has a single little tiny problem, you don't get an eclipse project with the correct source directory. This is by far something that would make me switch to q4e if it doesn't have the problem. Speak up there people! Let's see if we can get Eclipse + Maven more productive with some input.

Re: Eclipse and Maven best practice
Wayne, I don't think you are going to get an m2e for Eclipse 2 and q4e, as I remember, is for 3.3 (but maybe it works with 3.2 too). But you can install pretty much as many versions of Eclipse as you want each working on a different part of your code. Just put them in different folders. I even use multiples of the same version with different groups of plugins. Then start up the eclipse version you want but be careful about pointing different versions at the same workspace. Sometimes a different version or some plugin will store some configuration that causes some other instance to die completely or go into slow-eclipse mode where everything takes 20 seconds. It works pretty good to keep your source in a version control (eg. SVN) and then set up multiple local workspaces tied to the version control. Run the Eclipse you want against its own workspace and then save the changes to the one repo and update to the other repo. Its like working on two computers at once with the different versions. You can even run multiple eclipse instances at the same time if you have the RAM. -- Lee On 9/13/07, Wayne Fay [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm recently involved in an SAP NWDS (NetWeaver Dev Studio) project at work. NWDS is really just Eclipse 2.1 with some SAP-specific stuff added. Among the things they took away in this customized Eclipse is the ability to add plugins etc the usual way through the menu system. I'm wondering if anyone else is stuck using NWDS and if there's any chance to use m2e or q4e etc with this tool?

They integrate fully into Eclipse's build and do autodependency management. Also have you setup a CLASSPATH Container variable within Eclipse in order to use your local M2 repository?

I know there is a goal to produce an eclipse project with the pom, but I'm trying to understand how to create one at hand, customise and include it's dependencies. I have created 2 projects, appTest and appCommon. The main project is appTest that depends on appCommon. The source directories are the default Maven (src/main/java) and that directory is configured as source in eclipse, so it can compile the code. Then I've configured a specific directory build (same level as the src above), that eclipse will use to put the compiled classes (this folder will be ignored for SVN/CVS integration). Everything looks great, and works nicelly. Or so it seems ... No let's say I put a dependency on version Log4J 1.0. I make some code accessing it, then eclipse will just mark it as invalid, since the Log4J is not in it's classpath.
