Hi, I have just subscribed so please have patience.

I have built a dir structure using equinox from Matt Raible… very cool!
It builds in all of the web structure and adds support for struts as a
eclispe project. (an ant build file, a .classpath file, a .project file

I would like to use myeclipse as the “IDE” but don’t know how to open this up using myeclipse.

Thanks

Mark

Mark,
We don’t have any experience with Equinox… can you provide more information? What are you having trouble with? Have you tried creating a new Web Project and dropping the artifacts from the Equinox project in bit-by-bit?

Equinox is a light weight version of appfuse:
http://today.java.net/pub/n/Equinox1.2
It uses an ant build file to build the j2ee web structure and add all of the libraries ( struts, hibernate, site mesh…..yada…) very similar to what myeclipse does. It does create a .project file that can be opened as an eclipse project (without the myeclipse plugin installed) However it is not an IDE.

I am running under winxp, eclipse 3.0.1, tomcat 5.0.25, jdk 1.4.

I have a few things to try. I think my problems are with definition on the context root and redifning this for myeclipse. I will only try dropping atrifacts as a last resort

Thanks for you respsonse. I saw a similar thread about problems with overlaping directories and this sounds like what might be the problem. I thought myeclipse could open up a just using the .project file and the pre-existing directory structure, do a fresh build and be done.

MyEclipse 5.0 will be much closer to this as we will support true flexible project support, however right now the closer to an exploded WAR you can make your project the better.
