Dear all, I am not sure if this is an old topic, but searching the archive did not really bring any solution.
I would like to build Cocoon in Eclipse (3.1 M3 to be exact) and I have followed instructions on this page: http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/LoadInEclipse What confuses me is this part: <!-- =========================================================== --> <!-- Use the Eclipse compiler if we are running in eclipse --> <!-- =========================================================== --> <target name="properties" if="eclipse.running"> <property name="build.compiler" value="org.eclipse.jdt.core.JDTCompilerAdapter"/> </target> I am not sure where in build.xml to put this, but it does not seem to make a difference. Also the page does not say anything about what this might be good for at all. With or without that piece, when I try to run an Ant build for the webapp target: Buildfile: C:\local\eclipse-scratchpad-workspace\cocoon-2.1.6\build.xml init: init-tasks: [copy] Copying 18 files to C:\local\eclipse-scratchpad-workspace\cocoon-2.1.6\build\cocoon-2.1.6\classes [copy] Copied 60 empty directories to 32 empty directories under C:\local\eclipse-scratchpad-workspace\cocoon-2.1.6\build\cocoon-2.1.6\classes [javac] Compiling 541 source files to C:\local\eclipse-scratchpad-workspace\cocoon-2.1.6\build\cocoon-2.1.6\classes compile-deprecated: [mkdir] Created dir: C:\local\eclipse-scratchpad-workspace\cocoon-2.1.6\build\cocoon-2.1.6\deprecated BUILD FAILED: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError Total time: 27 seconds Is there anything obvious I am missing? In fact, what I never understood about the Eclipse / Ant thing: The philosophy of Eclipse is to compile a Java class as soon as it sees it. And it decides itself where to but it. How is that compatible with the idea of Ant where you specify on a very granular basis what to do when. I know this is not an Eclipse support forum, but I think this is of interested to a lot of other Cocoon users.
