Dear Magnolians! I've been using magnolia for quite a while now... and it is impressive peace of software, but>
I have a question 4 u who managed to work it out in Eclipse WTP. Basically, I have no problem building magnolia from svn, almost all the releases (trunk, tag and branches) but somehow I have missed to set this up and running within Eclipse. I have followed all the steps from all kinds of sources (wiki, sourceforge...) and still have no luck of getting it work as Dynamic Web project (DWP). I have tried almost everything (except shooting my head) to manage it. The only way to make it is to copy all the sources under NEW dynamic web projects, setting same configs etc but this is not I was planning to do. When I checkout all the sources from SVN it builds nicely with mvn, creating eclipse project files, but not for the 'magnolia' project dir to be recognized as dynamic web project (DWP). Sometimes when it works unfortunatelly it runs with magnolia***.jars in the classpath not subproject sources, therefore no changes in subproject sources are reflected on the running instance of tomcat. (all versions of WTP1.0 -1.5.3 and tomcat 5.5> were tested, win, mac and linux platform, sun jdk 1.5 & 1.6). Somewhere I have read that mvn should be setup to be external tool for building, but that failed for me too. I simply don't know how to correctly set up magnolia to use all subproject sources within eclipse so I could stay bound to magnolia SVN. Maven mvn -Dwtpversion1.5 eclipse:eclipse fails to generate eclipse project files for magnolia project (ex. magnolia-project) so it can be run on the server. Furthermore, there are differences between different releases of WTP 1.x - 1.5. What are the exact steps of configuring this as I get frustrated day by day. I know that this process should be straightforward but it is not. I hope someone could help sorting this out. Thank you and greetings from Iceland Ivar p.s. does anyone have eclipse .classpath, .project files and .settings folder under magnolia DWP that actually works with mulitiple subprojects as this is the actual missing puzzle in all this IMHO. :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------- for list details see http://www.magnolia.info/en/developer.html ----------------------------------------------------------------
