Unable to build project in JBoss Tools

dkane Nov 24, 2007 3:17 PM

I have started the project in JBoss IDE 2.0 . This is EAR project.

Now installed Eclipse 3.3 with JBoss Tools , Subclipse, and checked out this project from repository.
I found how to do packaging in new way, that's ok.
The problem is that Eclipse just does not build this project. There are no "Java compiler", "Java Build Path" items in project context menu. No "Java Builder" in Builders tab and no way to add it.
When I create blank "EJB project" , all above mentioned exists . But not for my project checked out from SVN.
In JBoss IDE 2.0 the same checkout was fine.
What to do ?

Thanks.

did you commit the .classpath and .project for the project?

No. Our policy is to keep only sources in SVN, not IDE-specific and workstation-specific files.

so how do you expect the IDE to remember the setup ?

.classpath and .project is not machine specific (unless you put machine specific paths in it which is not necessary)

Without those files you will have to recreate the project everytime; e.g. by using New Project with an Existing location instead of importing.

I thought "Java Builder" is basic default component for all Java projects. If even it was not added upon import, there should be a possibility to add builder in "Builders" tab. But I see only "JBossIDE Packages builder" and no "Java builder" in "New..." dialog.

This expectation is probably incorrect, I don't know Eclipse concepts well. But with JBoss IDE 2.0 we had no such problems on checkout.

JBossIDE does not control how eclipse does these things so there must be something you are doing different.

How are you actually importing this ? My guess is you have used "Create new project" instead "create new Java project" which would result in something similar to what you are describing.

Ok, understood.

In Workspace : "New".."Other".."Checkout projects from SVN" .

Thank you for explanations. Creating new Java project and importing sources "from existing filesystem" helps.

ok - I always had bad experiences with the "checkout from cvs/svn" kinda of imports. I prefer to checkout manually and then import them - more control and more reliable (at least in my opinion)
