Paul, how come you dont have the pom, was it deleted by maven itself? Without the pom maven of course cannot do anything.

Ah, I see. You have checked out the entire trunk! We use a subproject layout with parallel projects under trunk. Because Maven and Eclipse are not good buddies we also do not use hierarchical maven projects, but use the <parent> directive to refer to a pom parent.

So in order to build the IPT you need to checkout trunk/gbif- providertool like this:

cd ~/workspace svn co http://gbif-providertoolkit.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/gbif-providertool ipt

this will create an ipt folder in your workspace that contains a pom.xml ! in that ipt dir you should be able to do: mvn eclipse:eclipse

Any better? Markus

That's not working for me, nor is mvn eclipse:eclipse, maven complains that there's no eclipse profile in the one case and no pom.xml file in the other.

If you run 'mvn -Peclipse -X' and post the output that might give us some clues.

It can't find either an eclipse profile or the pom file in the directory that should end up as the root of the project.

Effectively this comes from: mkdir ~/workspace/ipt cd ~/workspace/ svn checkout http://gbif-providertoolkit.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ ipt/ cd ipt/

though it's gone through a number of updates since then, and has some local changes to the code (but the same thing happens with a fresh checkout).

then:

mole@chicoreus:~/workspace/ipt$ mvn -Peclipse -X
