I followed the instructions provided on this link to import the
project in Eclipse.
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/HowToContribute
After checking the main branch locally (git clone
http://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/solr.git), when I import (using
*Existing Gradle Project* option) in eclipse, the build process is
stuck at around 5% with thousands of errors. Refer below screenshot.
Your screenshot did not come through. Attachments sent to the mailing
list rarely make it through.
You should run "./gradlew clean cleanEclipse eclipse" before you import
the project. Then it will be an eclipse project that gets imported, not
a gradle project. This is on the wiki article you linked, but does not
include the "clean" and "cleanEclipse" targets that I added.
For Windows, you must install perl and remove the "./" part from the
gradlew command, and run it in a command prompt. Elevation of the
command prompt should not be required. I know for sure that Strawberry
Perl works, but I think that something like ActivePerl would also work.
Note that Java 19 is not yet supported by Gradle, so you must use a JDK
version between 11 and 17 on any OS. Only versions 11 and 17 are
recommended. I think 14 is also an LTS release, but it isn't often
referenced. I have no idea whether Java 18 works, but I wouldn't
recommend using it as it is an interim release that I believe is no
longer supported.
I just did these steps with branch_9x (the branch I already had checked
out) and there are still a few errors. One class with the same name as
another in a different package, and the existence of package-info.java
files for the same package in both the test and src trees. Fixing those
was pretty easy, I need to work on getting that into the codebase.
Did it with the main branch, I ran into the same errors and fixed them
the same way. The patches for both main and branch_9x are identical.
Thanks,
Shawn
