I will try to decribe the Use Case. Projects decribed below are using RAD
6.0 (base is eclipse 3.0.2)
In RAD6.0, we have 3 different kind of projects, and more, but for this
discussion 3 are sufficient.
1. Java
2. EJB
3. Web
Each of the above projects have different entries in the following sections
in .project files
1. buildcommands.
2. project natures.
In my application we have
Parent POM
Project - A extends parent POM - Java project
Project - B extends parent POM - Java project
Project - C extends parent POM - EJB project
Project - D extends parent POM - EJB project
Project - F extends parent POM - Web project
Project - G extends parent POM - Web project
(I have several projects in my workspace of different types).
Currently, I am forced to define Eclipse plugin entries in each of the
projects Also entries get duplicated in similar kind of projects. For
example, Java projects ( project A and project B) will have the following
entries for eclipse plugin in the POM
<buildcommands>
<java.lang.String>
org.eclipse.jdt.core.javabuilder
</java.lang.String>
<java.lang.String>
com.ibm.sse.model.structuredbuilder
</java.lang.String>
<java.lang.String>
com.ibm.etools.ctc.serviceprojectbuilder
</java.lang.String>
</buildcommands>
<projectnatures>
<java.lang.String>
org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature
</java.lang.String>
<java.lang.String>
com.ibm.etools.ctc.javaprojectnature
</java.lang.String>
</projectnatures>
Similarly, EJB projects will have dupliaction for properties I am trying to
avoid this duplication. Thought profile should be the way to go (there may
be another way too) but don't know how exactly to achieve this.
Thanks,
Sanjay
