another extra tip:

mvn -DdownloadSources=true eclipse:eclipse

it will take much much longer, but it will ask maven to try to download all available sources for dependencies.. which it then tells eclipse about.. allowing you to lookup the declarations of those dependencies and get actual code.. :)

Hi all,

first of all hello everyone, I am new to this list. I am currently working on integrating Shindig into Apache Sling [1], making it to use JCR [2] as storage backend and osgi-bundlizing [3] it.

While building shindig for the first time and following the instructions on the website, I noticed that you mention the rather complicated way of using the Eclipse Maven2 plugin to import maven projects into Eclipse. That's a valid way, but IMHO using "mvn eclipse:eclipse" on the command line to create an Eclipse project (and then importing it in Eclipse) is much simpler. AFAIK it's also more widely used.

This would make the "Setting up an Eclipse project to build Shindig" section on [4] shorter and simpler, which is good for newbies ;-)

Regards,
Alex
