[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBDS-3285) Git: Easy Import

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3285?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.... ] Mickael Istria updated JBDS-3285: --------------------------------- Description: As a Java EE developer, in some cases using Git for the first time (or only familiar with command line git), I find it very difficult to clone and import a project correctly into JBDS, having the appropriate facets configured, if it has a maven pom.xml, correctly setting the build path, where it is easily deployable to a localhost EAP instance. The mission here is to make the Git experience much more user friendly. Progress/Status (updated progressively): https://wiki.eclipse.org/E4/UI/Smart_Import was: As a Java EE developer, in some cases using Git for the first time (or only familiar with command line git), I find it very difficult to clone and import a project correctly into JBDS, having the appropriate facets configured, if it has a maven pom.xml, correctly setting the build path, where it is easily deployable to a localhost EAP instance. The mission here is to make the Git experience much more user friendly. Progress/Status (updated progressively): {quote} Easymport framework has been contributed to e4 (Platform Incubator): in http://git.eclipse.org/c/e4/org.eclipse.e4.ui.git/tree/bundles , see all org.eclipse.e4.ui.importer* . You can install it in your IDE from http://download.eclipse.org/e4/snapshots/org.eclipse.e4.ui . The entry-points are either the new menu "File > Import projects from folder..." or from legacy import wizard under "General > Local folder(s) as project into workspace". We have working extensions that allow to import Java EE & Maven: https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-playground/tree/master/plugins (install from http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/builds/staging/jbosstools-playground... ) , that we plan to contribute upstream when projects such as m2e and WTP when the framework seems mature enough. There is not yet an easy link from the EGit wizard to the Easymport one, nor an easy link from SVN wizard to Easymport. There is almost no chance that this can be included in Eclipse IDE for Mars release in June. But we could already think about including it in next JBoss Tools and JBoss Developer Studio milestones, so that we'd get more feedback. At this point, feedback from users and adopters is the key point. I invite you to give it a try, and to report issues here. {quote} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.11#6341)
