I downloaded various sources as jar files. So first this, is that correct?

For example I have the following in a folder on my laptop:

org.pi4soa.scenario.designer_2.1.0.200908222243.jar

org.pi4soa.scenario_2.1.0.200908222243.jar

If I want to build the eclipse projects as you suggest, using mvn, I make sure I am in the folder with the jar files and then I tried the mvn eclipse:eclipse but this is what I got:

mvn eclipse:eclipse

So I guess my question is what do I need to download and where do I need to be located to use mvn?

Dear Gary,

I have used mvn eclipse:eclipse against savara-core and savara-epp taken from the repository and cloned on my laptop. Question though, where does it put the eclipse bundle when it does it's stuff. I have been looking for a .project amongst other things but have yet to find one.

Cheers

Further to my last question, I found the following (extract) on savara/savara-tools-eclipse · GitHub

Developing ----------  
Setup an Eclipse JEE (Kepler) environment - download Eclipse from www.eclipse.org.
Install "Integration and SOA Development" tools from the integration platform.
Perform the steps in the "Building the project" section, to initialise the plugins.
Import the plugins:
     - select the "Import->Import..." menu item
     - select "Maven->Maven Existing Projects" item from the dialog
     - browse to select the 'plugins' folder within the savara-tools-eclipse repo
     - follow any instructions presented to install Tycho plugins 

I now have a Kepler environment. But where do the "Integration and SOA Development" tools come from? Which integration platform? Does it relate to the stuff built in a previous step or is there an update site to go to?

Cheers

Hi Gary,

I have a Kepler environment, clear with Savara loaded as plugins from the update site. I have the gitbub clone for org.savara.tools mavened up. Inside org.savara.tools.bpmn2 (as an example) I can now see the following:

build.properties

Copyright.txt

META-INF

plugin.xml

pom.xml

src

But I cannot import it. When I go to the folder that has this stuff in it say no-project found. Can you point me to what I need to do?

Cheers

Steve T

Having looked more deeply it appears as if .project and .classpath are missing from org.savara.tools.bpmn2 which are needed for making it an importable project.

Do I import it as a filesystem and not a project archive?

Cheers
