Hello all,
I did search a bit (sorry, only but only a bit, because I’m currently moving from one flat to another) for a solution, but did’nt find any!
So any hints and redirects are welcome!
I’ve an existing eclipse-project with an more or less complex ant build-file and manually setup struts-, jstl-, hiberante-capabilities (.jars, .tlds, etc. are coming from a central software repository)
How to add struts-capabilities to this project, so that we can use struts-config-editor, hibernate-editor, etc. …
As mentioned before, any hints are highly welcome!
thx & kind regards
K:)K,
We can’t really start to provide suggestions until you can give us a good outline of what the project looks like. List all your dirs along with short desc of what is in them, then we can suggest. Also please use either quote blocks or code blocks (Code/Quote button below) to enter the info into so the indentation is preserved.hello,
I’ve a central software repository (represented as a eclipse project, named repository) and a normal eclipse java project for my work.
Both are on the same level in my workspace! The repository holds several libraries and frameworks (Struts, Hibernate, JSTL, Log4J, …) in a special structure e.g.Hibernate 2.1.7 docs lib lib-dependencies lic src 2.1.8 docs ... Struts 2.1.4 docs lib lib-dependencies lic srcmy project has the following outling
build compile output dist packaged war-files docs generated documentations (java-doc, code-coverage, todo-lists, metrics, ...) src my java-sources (Actions, BusinessLogic, ...) src-gen generated sources (Hibernate Model Classes coming from Middlegen) src-test JUnit test-classes src-web the web-root images styles scripts META-INF WEB-INF tld configAs mentioned before, I have a rich Ant build.xml, which is doing almost everything I want … 😉
I just want to use the editors of myeclipseide for struts-config.xml, HQL-Database-Queries, …Please respond quickly!
Thx in advance!
K:) for KlausKlaus,
Just be sure to add Web and Struts capabilities to your project project, set your Web Root dir to be /src-web. The only thing I can see that might be a bit of an issue is that MyEclipse will attempt to make your output dir /src-web/META-INF/classes, so you might need to change that back. Also you won’t be able to use our deployment tool but it sounds like your Ant script already handles all this, so no worries. Also when adding Struts capabilities, be sure to point at your existing struts-config.xml file.Additionally your Repository project, IMO, should be replaced by a set of User Libraries that you configure and setup within Eclipse, then they can be added/removed to projects at will.
Riyad,
Thx for the quick reply!
I’ll try and let you know about the outcome of my work!
Why will I not be able to use de deployment tool?
Thx for the hint with the user libraries …
but how to use them in ant-scripts? – any hints are welcome!kind regards
K:)Why will I not be able to use de deployment tool?
The deployment tool expects your WebRoot folder to become the root of your deployed webapp, it doesn’t perform a combination of assets to create the resulting directory, it just copies out the WebRoot folder recursively out to your app server. So in your case your compiled output dir is /build and not a /src-web/WEB-INF/classes, so when the deployment tool deploys, it will completely miss your class files.
This will all be changed in our 5.0 release however. (late august-ish time frame).
but how to use them in ant-scripts? – any hints are welcome!
Oh, in that case don’t use them. They are an Eclipse construct, I don’t know that you can get to them ‘natively’ via an Ant script. Sorry didn’t realize this was necessary.
