I also use eclipse with S2 with no problem, and 'mvn eclipse:eclipse' works as it should. I repeated it also today on fresh source tree.
1) define Maven repository (for referencing JAR files) Window --> Preferences --> Java --> Build Path --> ClassPath Variables Define variable M2_REPO with value pointing to your repository, in my case: c:/Documents and Settings/Darek/.m2/repository 2) After this command, just open eclipse, menu File --> Import --> Existin Projects into Workspace Root Directory: path to your Struts2 root. Button "Browse" and you get list of Struts projects (api, core, plugins) Works great. I only had 1 problem, when using maven to build JAR files of struts. By default eclipse is pointed to compile code into the same directories as maven, and maven was somehw confused with that - caching issues. You may change the eclipse build path by: clicking on the project preferences, Java Build Path, Default Output Folder. Just specify some other directory. Now it seems to work. Side note
From time to time my struts 2 compilation in maven only works if I
fetch xwork sources into the same parent dir as struts2. Dariusz Wojtas On 12/15/06, Rick Schumeyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I would like to learn S2 while using the eclipse/WTP IDE. I currently use eclipse/WTP for a struts 1.3 project. But the way I constructed the eclipse project was a bit of a pain. In reviewing the list archives, it looks like there is an easy way to generate a blank template for an S2 project with eclipse/WTP using maven. The problem is, I don't really understand the process. It seems to have something to do with the S2 source tree (which I have) a pom file, and typing "mvn eclipse:eclipse". I tried that and I'm not really sure what it did. I'm sure maven is a wonderful tool, but I'm hoping to avoid learning much about it right now. Perhaps I'm lazy, but I'm still trying to learn more about struts, jsp, servlets, hibernate, eclipse, ant, etc. So is there an idiot-proof way for me to generate an eclipse/WTP/S2 project?
