[seam-dev] Importing the photoalbum maven application to m2eclipse/JBoss Tools

I have tried to import the photoalbum application from http://jboss.org/downloading/?projectId=jbossrichfaces&url=http://dow... to Eclipse. There are a few issues related to m2eclipse and WTP. In order to import the application to Eclipse and configure it to work with m2eclipse and JBoss Tools, it is necessary to do the following: 1. ejb, ear, web modules - change the names of the modules to: photoalbum-ear photoalbum-ejb photoalbum-web 2. ear module - set the version to 5 in maven-ear-plugin - set photoalbum-ear final-name to photoalbum-ear and add bundleFileName to the web and ejb module of maven-ear-plugin - obliged because the WTP deployer ignores deployName - see https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-4655 i https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/MNGECLIPSE-1564 - create application.xml and jboss-app.xml in src/main/application/META-INF - see https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-4809 - change context-root from photoalbum to photoalbum-web in pom.xml and application.xml because m2eclipse ignores context-root - see https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/MNGECLIPSE-1564 3. ejb module - move component.properties from src/main/resources-filtered to src/main/resources with the following contents: # #Mon Sep 15 14:29:32 EEST 2008 jndiPattern=photoalbum-ear/#{ejbName}/local embeddedEjb=false and remove src/main/resources-filtered - remove the configuration of maven-resource-plugin I haven't succeeded to configure Maven resource filtering within m2eclipse. But, as it is, Maven resource filtering is unnecessary here because I have had to change the EAR's final name. 4) There is a bug in org.jboss.tools.jsf/PostInstallJsfFacetDelegate - this class calls IProject.refreshLocal within the facet install procedure which, sometimes, throws an exception. Until the bug is fixed, you can workaround it by calling Maven>Update Project Configuration on the EAR project In order to test importing the photoalbum application, you can do the following: - install/update m2eclipse >= 0.9.9.20090820 - install the latest JBoss Tools trunk - define Seam Runtime 2.1.1.GA and the DefaultDS connection profile (they can be set after checking out Maven projects) - call Import>Check out Maven Projects from SCM - select svn for SCM URL and enter http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools/workspace/snjeza/photoalbum - finish the Import wizard You will get the photoalbum application containing the JBoss Tools settings.
