Hi Mike.
I'm using the almost the same config as you but subclipse instead of
subversive and the easiest way
I've found to get and build Sling in Eclipse is to use the "import..."
option the the File menu. I also turn
of the automatic build in Eclipse and instead use a run configuration to
build Sling.
First create a new Workspace
1. Menu: File->Switch Workspace->Other...
2. Enter a path for the new workspace and click OK
When Eclipse has restarted its time to adjust some configs
1. Turn off automatic build (Menu: Project->Build Automatically)
2. Menu: Window->Preferences
3. In the preferences dialog select Java->Compiler->Errors/Warnings
4. Expand the "Deprecated and restricted API" and change "Forbidden
references (access rules)" from "Error" to "Warning"
5. Click OK
Now its time to fetch the Sling source
1. Menu: File->Import
2. In the Import wizard select Maven->"Check out Maven Projects from SCM"
3. Click next
4. In the "SCM URL" field pick "SVN" and enter the url
"http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/sling/trunk";
5. Click Finish
Eclipse will now start to download the source and import the Maven
projects. You might
encounter some "Problem Occured" dialogs about "An internal error..."
but just click OK
on those and let Eclipse continue with the import.
When I've used Import to fetch Sling something in sling-builder seem to
get a bit messed up but that can
simply be fixed with revert.
1. In the Project Explorer right click on the "sling-builder" project
and select the Team->Revert... menu
2. A couple of changes (9 in my case) will be displayed
3. Click OK
Now its time to create a new run config used to build Sling
1. Make sure you're in the Java perspective (Menu: Window->Open Perspective)
2. Menu: Run->Run Configurations...
3. In the Run Configurationa dialog right click on "Maven Build" and
select "New"
4. Change Name to "Build Sling"
5. Click "Browse Workspace..." and select "sling-builder"
6. Enter "clean install" in Goals
7. Click on the JRE tab
8. Enter "-Xmx256m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m" in "VM arguments"
11. Click Apply
12. Click Run
This should build Sling.

Hi
I've got some problems to build sling in eclipse. Have tried no for hours to
get rid off the error, but haven't succeeded, maybe just a little thing which I
can't see, hope someone can help:
my environment:
windows xp sp 3
eclipse 3.4 with maven2-plugin (sonatype, newest) and subversive
installed maven 2.1.0
jre 1.5 und jdk 1.6
What I've done so far:
1) getting the sling source from svn (with eclipse subversive) which creates a
java project with no builders called sling in the workspace
2) building the source with maven -> no problem
3) calling mvn eclipse:eclipse
4) import projects in eclipse with File/Import, choosing "Existing projects into
Workspace", selecting the folder <workspace>/sling/bundles (because eclipse can't find the
projects in the subfolders if I select only <workspace>/sling. choosing all projects.
5) eclipse tries to build the projects but gets a lot of following errors: xy
cannot be resolved (Java Problem), first error is AdapterType cannot be
resolved in ScriptableResourceTest.java, line 215.
It seems that eclipse tries to build with Java 1.4 (can't recognize
generics...). But eclipse points to jdk 6, and there's no problem in other
projects. I tried java 1.5 as well, no luck.
what have I missed?
best regards
mike
