I was assuming we would check in one "default" configuration. There's nothing preventing people from running maven eclipse:eclipse or manually changing them in their own environments. We wouldn't want people to accidentally check their changes back in so we'd probably want them on the svn:ignor

Where are you running the mvn eclipse command from? When I do it from the top-level SDO folder all the projects get setup using inter project dependencies (with the exception of sdo-api as thats outside in spec/sdo-api right now but that will be fixed when its moved into the sdo folder)? ...ant

Agree with all that, plus the fact that you need to install maven and check-out using the command line. If we had .project files, people could check-out the projects they want "directly into Eclipse" and work with them without ever needing mvn. Frank. "kelvin goodson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote

Can we do anything with svn:externals properties or overlays to help with this. Or maybe we could check in a standard set of patches that represent adding eclipse stuff to projects? Users could then do an extract in one of a set of standard patterns, and then apply a patch to put the IDE files i

Right thats the problem isn't it. If we check in the IDE files in we're assuming one particular way of using the code. For the SCA project which is quite big i've several different workspaces - one with every thing including modules, samples and itest, another workspace just with modules, and anot

There's pain in the process, not huge, but irritating first off there's the definition of the M2_REPO variable, not a huge problem, especially if you stick to just one workspace. I tend to create workspaces as and when I need them, and I can't see how to make my variable definition cross multi

Sounds good to me, we'd just have to make some decisions about the nature of the classpath entries. I would assume that for the api, lib, impl, tools and plugins projects we would set up inter-project dependencies, but what would we do about classpath entries for binary artifacts such as EMF? T

Frank, I'm of the opinion that anything that makes it easier for developers to get to grips with our stuff, the better. Personally, having to to create all the Eclipse stuff has been a pain, so doing this would save me time and effort. I agree with your sentiment that if others want to add
