[jbosstools-dev] Good example of what works and what doesn't in JBoss Tools

[Snjezana Peco]

Hello,

The following are my comments on 
http://www.glxn.net/seam-maven-refimpl/doc/tutorial/05-eclipse-3.6-worklog.html 
and a patch for JBIDE-6596

 > 4. Open a command shell, navigate to your project directory and run:
 > mvn install eclipse:eclipse

The maven-eclipse-plugin plugin is deprecated. The project should be 
imported using the Import>Maven>Existing Maven Projects m2eclipse action.

 > 9. JBoss Tools 3.2 Issue:
 > web.xml: All comments are stripped after project import, must restore 
original web.xml from svn
 > (not an issue with JBoss Tools 3.1).

This problem is related to webtools and is described in 
https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-6228.
The problem was also existing in JBoss Tools 3.1 when the JBoss Maven 
Seam Configurator was included.

 > 10. m2eclipse issues:

The version of JRE isn't important for EAR project because an EAR 
project doesn't contain Java sources.
The problem related to application.xml is described in 
https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-4809
There is a patch for it.

 > 11. JBoss Tools (or m2eclipse?) issue:
 > The EAR module's src/application folder should be source folder.

Since EAR projects don't contain Java source files, that is unnecessary. 
JBoss Tools doesn't configure Java capabilities for any project, so that 
is related to m2eclipse.

 > 12. JBoss Tools issue:
 > Schema validation for some resource files fails due to use of Maven 
property placeholders. The > target resource files should be correct, so 
they are the files that should be validated.

This problem can be fixed in the following way:

 - add the components.properties file to the classpath which contains 
all required maven properties. In the component.xml file, those 
properties should be declared as "@property_name@"
 
  "Duplicate component" errors are marked correctly because there are 
several same components declared in ejb and war projects.

This issue is related to https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-4809. You 
can use the bundleFileName element as a workaround. The problem is an 
m2eclipse problem.

The WTP configurator publishes war projects. It is part of m2eclipse. 
Anyway, resources are published to WEB-INF/classes and exist in the 
classpath of the application which is correct in my opinion. The 
messages_xx.properties files have to be in the classpath, for instance.

 > 17. Publish

ear root folder.

This is a JBoss Tools AS deployer problem 
(https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-6596). Attached is a patch.
