just quick guys: we only use maven from the commandline, but run main classes and JUnit tests from within eclipse. I used eclipse 3.3 and 3.4 so far on OSX

to setup an eclipse IPT project I do:

a) svn checkout ... # into folder workspace/ipt b) mvn eclipse:eclipse # generates eclipse artifacts but uses the M2_REPO variable to locate your local maven repository c) set the M2_REPO variable via project properties-> java build path -

add variable to point to your local maven repository (on OSX this

is ~/.m2/repository) d) mvn -P prod # runs IPT locally with jetty on port 8080, skips tests, uses gbifs production registry and a local data dir in the webapps folder

if you use no profile at all and just run $mvn jetty IPT should use jetty on port 8080. But because currently not all tests succeed the build fails.

I have to admit that I switched to Java6 during this year, so there might be issues with java5. Although we run IPT using the WAR on gbif servers with java5 currently and there is no real reason why java5 should not be supported. If so, this is not intended and could surely be solved rather simply (e.g. SQLException I will look into).

sorry for being brief, but hope this still helps a bit. Markus

Aaron,

I haven't seen any documentation on it. I did your step 1, then, by hand in eclipse, set the source directories as sources, and added the jar files in gbif-providertool/target/gbif-ipt-1.0-SNAPSHOT/ WEB-INF/lib to the build path. I've had no luck with eclipse-maven integration (with eclipse 3.4.0 on debian etch), but I can build a working war file for the provider from the command line with

cd ~/workspace/ipt/gbif-providertool export JAVA_HOME=/[...]/jdk1.6.[...]] mvn -fn or with mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true

In the current (1463) revision, I'm seeing 11 test failures and 2 errors, at least one of which looks like a reference to a GBIF network resource. Running org.gbif.provider.service.impl.RegistryManagerImplTest WARN main-HttpBaseManager.succeeded(214) | Http request to http://gbrds.gbif.org/registrydev/organisation/null?op=login failed: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found Tests run: 1, Failures: 1, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 0.343 sec <<< FAILURE! This looks like it is testing a value found in gbif-provider/pom.xml <ipt.registry.url>http://gbrds.gbif.org/registrydev</ipt.registry.url>

Since I do a lot of development not attached to the network, a build dependency on a network resource is a problem (likewise another test that expects geoserver to be running on localhost:8080), and so I haven't gone hunting after the possible causes of the other test failures, and am just switching off the tests to build (which works allright as I'm working on some experimental filtered push annotation integration, and the resulting war file just needs to run).

Also, do we have documentation for setting up Eclipse for IPT development? Here's how I've set things up in Eclipse so far:

1. SVN checkout of trunk/gbif-providertool
