pls help me with eclipse

goodguy

I have spend 3 days and night to try to setup the development environment using eclipse; but still not able to get it going.

Please can you help if you have a bit more step by step instruction / advice compare to the one in wiki?

Thank you in advance. I truly appreciate.

Hi,

what you need exactly? Do you want recompile everything with eclipse?

If yes, you don't need it: you can do recompile and deploy using ant.

In the other hand, if you need to be able to edit the complete sources using eclipse. If you specify in the eclipse project the complete source list and the related libraries you can recompile the classes (but not to deploy its), only to check the project consistency.

Hi goodguy,

look here http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Alfresco_SVN_Development_Environment

explain how to build a eclipse project.

freedev,

Thank you for your prompt reply.

I have consulted the link that you have sent. It's the one that I have used. My aim is mainly on the web-client changes.

In the http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Alfresco_SVN_Development_Environment
, after building the project using eclipse, what is the process to deploy the new code. Do I just manually copy over to an alfresco instance that works?

What I have done so far is create a web project in eclipse, and then import all the files from the alfresco_war into it. Then deploy the code to a tomcat instance. Hence I am able to see the changes in JSP files for example. What I have encountered so far is after I deploy the code into tomcat, if I just start tomcat, it works.

However, if I start tomcat inside eclipse, I got this error:

freedev,

Thank you for your prompt reply.

I have consulted the link that you have sent. It's the one that I have used. My aim is mainly on the web-client changes.

In the http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Alfresco_SVN_Development_Environment
, after building the project using eclipse, what is the process to deploy the new code. Do I just manually copy over to an alfresco instance that works?

To deploy an updated version of alfresco I use ant.
You need to define the environment variables:

export JAVA_HOME="/opt/apps/sun/jdk1.6.0_03"export ALFRESCO_REPOSITORY="/opt/alfresco-community-tomcat-2.1.0"export TOMCAT_HOME="$ALFRESCO_REPOSITORY/tomcat"export VIRTUAL_TOMCAT_HOME="$ALFRESCO_REPOSITORY/virtual-tomcat"I have linux, but I think with windows it is pretty the same.
After the variables definition into the alfresco-sdk you type simply ant and the build process will start deploying an updated copy of alfresco.war into the $ALFRESCO_REPOSITORY directory.
You can still use eclipse to modify the source code.

What I have done so far is create a web project in eclipse, and then import all the files from the alfresco_war into it. Then deploy the code to a tomcat instance. Hence I am able to see the changes in JSP files for example. What I have encountered so far is after I deploy the code into tomcat, if I just start tomcat, it works.

IMHO, better connect eclipse to the alfresco subversion repository and export the entire project (what I did).

Bye,
Vincenzo

I notice the compile using ANT took about 6 minutes to complete. If I only need to change the web-client bit, what is the best way for setting up a development and deploy environment?

I am new to Alfresco, and thank you for your patient.

Thank you.

Hi goodguy,

try to look inside the build.xml, there are a lot of targets called "incremental-something".
You could use one of them to avoid to rebuild all, anyway depends what you have to do.
First of all, I think you need to study the project architecture before continue.

Bye,
Vincenzo
