I'm hoping to create a simple Xwiki macro to allow users an easy way to create local file:// links to internal network shares through the WYSIWYG macros feature. This is also an excuse for me to try to get m2eclipse to work for building Xwiki as well. However, so far the plugin doesn't seem to be working right.
I'm generally following the guide here: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/RenderingMacroTutorial#HCreatingaMacrousingMaven I first attempted at using Eclipse's m2eclipse plugin to create a new maven project, but had some troubles with this. I first added a maven archetypes catalog through the Window->Preferences->Maven->Archetypes menu. I added a remote catalog using the url "http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/platform/xwiki-tools/trunk/xwiki-archetype-macro/";. Then, by going through the new maven project wizard, I checked the "include snapshot archetypes" box and the xwiki-archetype-macro shows up. I then fill out the input boxes, for example something like: Group ID: com.lyraphase Artifact ID: localFileLinkMacro Version: 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT Package: com.lyraphase I click finish and it simply says "Failed to create project". The event details for the error in the log are: -------------------------------------------- eclipse.buildId=unknown java.version=1.6.0_20 java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc. BootLoader constants: OS=win32, ARCH=x86, WS=win32, NL=en_US Framework arguments: -product org.eclipse.epp.package.php.product Command-line arguments: -os win32 -ws win32 -arch x86 -product org.eclipse.epp.package.php.product Error Tue May 25 18:28:55 MDT 2010 Failed to create project. java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.maven.artifact.repository.DefaultArtifactRepositoryFactory.createArtifactRepository(DefaultArtifactRepositoryFactory.java:90) at org.maven.ide.eclipse.internal.project.ProjectConfigurationManager.resolveArchetype(ProjectConfigurationManager.java:540) at org.maven.ide.eclipse.internal.project.ProjectConfigurationManager.createArchetypeProject(ProjectConfigurationManager.java:463) at org.maven.ide.eclipse.wizards.MavenProjectWizard$5.runInWorkspace(MavenProjectWizard.java:279) at org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.InternalWorkspaceJob.run(InternalWorkspaceJob.java:38) at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:55) -------------------------------------------- I then gave up on that, and just made a new directory and ran the maven command line mentioned in the Macro Tutorial through Cygwin. I entered the Group ID, etc... The command seemed to work, however again m2eclipse chokes on missing maven dependencies after doing a "Import -> Existing Maven Project". The console log in Eclipse also shows *tons* of warnings about checksums failing and some missing pom files. For example: 5/25/10 6:02:18 PM MDT: [WARN] *** CHECKSUM FAILED - Checksum failed on download: local = 'f4993fe96db30ae57ca4d71e34ebe200b63981b6'; remote = 'eaf4f3d8c6ee17e73ca671a496a4b307f83aed63' - IGNORING 5/25/10 6:02:19 PM MDT: [WARN] *** CHECKSUM FAILED - Checksum failed on download: local = 'aaeb993ef6348a2e5102df06b408d8bb220d609e'; remote = '79231f9f429a3ba10c5d260b4e683fe7599498d0' - IGNORING Most of that stuff is uninteresting, but I snipped out some of the more interesting messages I found within the mess. -------------------------------------------- 5/25/10 5:46:08 PM MDT: Unable to update index for xwiki-externals|http://maven.xwiki.org/externals: Resource nexus-maven-repository-index.properties does not exist 5/25/10 5:52:57 PM MDT: Missing artifact org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-core-rendering-parser-wikimodel:jar:2.3-SNAPSHOT:compile 5/25/10 5:46:10 PM MDT: Unable to update index for xwiki-plugins-externals|http://maven.xwiki.org/externals: Resource nexus-maven-repository-index.properties does not exist 5/25/10 5:52:57 PM MDT: Missing artifact org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-core-rendering-parser-wikimodel:jar:2.3-SNAPSHOT:compile 5/25/10 6:02:19 PM MDT: Missing artifact org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-core-rendering-parser-wikimodel:jar:2.3-SNAPSHOT:compile 5/25/10 6:02:24 PM MDT: Maven Builder: FULL_BUILD 5/25/10 6:02:24 PM MDT: Build errors for localFileLinkMacro; org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: Failed to execute goal on project localFileLinkMacro: Missing: ---------- 1) org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-core-rendering-parser-wikimodel:jar:2.3-SNAPSHOT Try downloading the file manually from the project website.
