Working out the multi-module maven setup

[jendave]

Hi Chris,

Just checked in changes to the Eclipse setup. Please update and let me know.

Thanks
Dave

Import to eclipse - successful,
build (the what eclipse performs in background) - worked after updating maven

run from eclipse - failed. Looks like gui module is missing .classpath file, that's why Eclipse won't offer classes from that module to choose whose Main method to use.

UPD: made a few commits to make it compile and run.

Tried to move a package to core class - that won't work.
Looks like Eclipse does not see the referenced modules, they appear in the package explorer as empty folders and contain no classes

[jendave]

Let me know a package to move to core and one to move to AI. I can then adjust the Eclipse settings. Eclipse is not so good with refreshing its Maven settings.

I Time-Machined a copy of yesterday's worksapce folder over my current workspace folder. I then entered this into my terminal window as Eclipse does not want to sync with so many changes:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
cd /Users/me/Workspace_SVN/ForgeSVN/
svn up

 
At the end of the update my terminal window states:

Updated to revision 23609.

 
I then launched Eclipse and had it open my workspace folder. I then used a Maven command to build a local copy and it worked. The archive does not include the CHANGES.txt, LICENSE.txt, forge.profile.properties.example and README.txt files.

When I attempt to run Forge from within Eclipse I get:

Error: Could not find or load main class forge.view.Main

 
Do we need to adjust the Run Configurations -> Main class: text box too?

Just try to move a single class forge.card.CardRarity to core module

as for AI - take just any enum that has no dependencies to test it out.

Moved the files into the modules. The build via Maven cli worked. I also ran compiled and ran the app in Eclipse. I had to set the Main class in the run config though. I have checked in the changes.

Now works for me too.
It's just Wonderful!

There's a lot to be done now

[Chris H.]

I have changed my Main class in the run config to:

Code: Select all

forge-gui.src.main.java.forge.view.Main

 
and then tried to fun forge from this run config and I get:

Error: Could not find or load main class forge-gui.src.main.java.forge.view.Main

 
What are other people using?

[Max mtg]

What are other people using?

project: forge-gui
Main class: forge.view.Main

For anyone else having problems, I ended up having better luck reimporting the new project than trying to resolve issues with the old one. Additionally, your profile is now in the wrong location (forge folder instead of the forge-gui folder), so you'll probably need to move it (at least I needed to). Is this going to be an issue for our user base?

I changed the Project: text box from "ForgeSVN" to "forge-gui" and pressed the Apply button. I am told that Project forge-gui does not exist in the top left corner. The Run button is greyed out.

File->Import->Maven: Exsiting Maven Projects, select forge-gui to import.

Sol is right about cleaning workspace.
You have to delete all projects from eclipse workspace, svn up, then import the root maven project

[Chris H.]

Thank you everyone for your help and I seem to now have everything up to date and running. I can run forge from within Eclipse. I can execute the maven command from within Eclipse to do a local build and archive. So my run configs are good.

I deleted the previous project from Eclipse and the workspace.

I then imported the SVN project into Eclipse using the same project name as I was using before.

I had to follow Swordshine's advice and:

File->Import->Maven: Existing Maven Projects, select forge-gui to import.

 
At this point I was able to set up my run configs.
