I've not done much Java development, and definitely not on a codebase of the size of ActiveMQ. I'm finding it a little difficult to get started, and I could use some help. I wrote previously about some problems I've had getting Eclipse set up, but even once I've sorted that out I'm not sure where to go next.
I want to be able to : * compile any changes i've made in the code * set some breakpoints in the code * start the server * make a request from a client * watch what's happening at the breakpoints I've set I'd also like to know how to run the activemq unit tests, both as a full suite and individually. It doesn't matter to me whether all of this is done in Eclipse, or via a combination of IDE & command-line programs. I don't care about sticking with Eclipse. If anyone can point me at a different (though still free) IDE/editor, I have no objection to switching. Can someone point me at a tutorial on how to do some/all of this? I've been googling for 'activemq eclipse' 'activemq development' and similar phrases, and not finding anything. A 'getting started' guide, that that provided by the Geoserver project (http://geoserver.org/display/GEOSDOC/3+Eclipse+Quickstart) would be wonderful. I'd be willing to write one, get screenshots, etc, if only I knew what to put in it. :) Help? thanks, alex
