Something else I just found... the link to a tutorial at
http://blog.bonnydoonmedia.com/post.cfm/walkthrough-tutorials-compiling-apache-james-v3-with-eclipse
in the Eclipse build section is dead. No DNS entry.

Correction... the build instructions page link should be:

I'm trying to build the latest stable James 3.3.0 in Eclipse.
-- The link to the 3.3.0 source zip on the downloads page is dead

-- I figured out the correct link:
http://mirrors.gigenet.com/apache/james/server/3.3.0/james-project-3.3.0-src.zip
and downloaded the zip. But the zip contains ONLY the primary source
files and no pom.xml, etc files.
-- I finally went to git and downloaded a zip that contained everything.

into Eclipse, but got over 500 errors. A large chunk of these
errors was that every pom file has an invalid or missing a "dotGit"
folder name.
-- Also, I tried following the instructions here:
http://mirrors.gigenet.com/apache/james/server/3.3.0/james-project-3.3.0-src.zip
-- In the section titled "prepare projects" it says to copy files
from: server/container/spring/src/main/config/james and from
server/container/src/main/config/james Apparently, the folder
structures have completely changed since that was written. Neither of
those folder exist, and it wasn't obvious where they moved to.
-- I know enough about eclipse to get by. I know nothing about maven
(and for now would like to keep it as close to that way as
possible). I just want to add a few tweaks to James 3.3 that I added
back in v3b5 and get the latest james into production. I'm sure
there's something missing or some setting wrong in Eclipse or in the
Maven plug-in. I did a complete clean install of Eclipse (Java EE
version) and Maven on a different machine just to make sure there
were no issues with my original Eclipse. No change.
Any help on resolving the hundreds of import errors and where to find
all of these files that have moved since the instructions were
written will be appreciated. I'm at a total loss. I really just
need to get this thing to build.
Thanks.
Jerry
