JBoss Developer Studio MAVEN project

[beppo.ivel]

If I create a new maven project named "getting-started" of type maven-archetype-webapp with the JBoss Developer Studio, then I get the following warning:

    Description    Resource    Path    Location    Type

    Build path specifies execution environment J2SE-1.5. There are no JREs installed in the workspace that are strictly compatible with this environment.     getting-started        Build path    JRE System Library Problem

I installed Java SE 7 and set the system variable Java_Home to the jdk directory. Also I set by the installation wizard of JBoss DS the path to the jdk directory.

Is there an update for this tutorial? I have the following problems:

1. Section 3.2, the src directory, wich is created automatically is different from that one, which I would created manually.

2. Section 3.3, its written "Right click on the project in the left hand menu to bring up dropdown box." -> "Select Spring Tools". But I could not found an entry Spring Tools.

Setting JAVA_HOME may not be enough. You should check in Workspace and/or Project Preferences which JDKs are actually visible.

• Window > Preferences > Java > Installed JREs
• On project, Right-click > Properties > Java Build Path. Make sure content of Library tab shows a valid JRE. If not, add it with the 'Add Library" button

It could indeed be a bug in the documentation. If you think so, please open a bug  on issues.jboss.org.

I attached 2 pics of this settings. As I mentioned a valid I set a valid JRE path by installing JBoss Developer Studio.

Your pom.xml file probably does not specify any version thus it is targeting Java 5 by default.

Make sure your compiler settings in your pom.xml is correct.

i.e.

<build>
   <plugins>
   <plugin>
   <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
   <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
   <version>2.3.2</version>
   <configuration>
   <source>1.6</source>
   <target>1.6</target>
   <encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
   </configuration>
   </plugin>
   </plugins>
</build>
