How to get started?

[Braids]

by the way, i updated the "Typical Development Usage" wiki section again. is there an EGit or Git expert who can take a look at it? edit away; it's a wiki. or pm me.

@ jeffwadsworth: Hmm, tried it but it didn't help... Thanks for trying to help though!

Try to remove

Code: Select all

.m2/repository/com/mortennobel

Then run

Code: Select all

mvn -U clean install

Umm unfortunately, it didn't help either... just the same thing after I do this. :\

Agetian, please post a screenshot of your Maven Dependencies in Eclipse.

how does one do that? open pom.xml?

Like this.

@ jendave: I was about to do that when I decided to try out one more thing (found this "Update Dependencies" in the Maven menu after you mentioned dependencies), I hit that, agreed to let it update, and it started to work fine for me! )
Thanks a lot to everyone for helping me out!

@Agetian: could you take a look at http://www.slightlymagic.net/wiki/Forge:How_to_Get_Started_Developing_Forge#I_am_getting_an_error_about_.22Fix_the_build_path.22_or_.22The_type_..._cannot_be_resolved..22 to see if it matches your symptoms and solution? it's a really small section.

edit: in case anyone cares, the full url is

OK, so I've assigned myself a bug (moving the progress bar inside the splash frame) and I've finished coding the solution. I went to test my solution with the latest revision from the SVN, and there's 200 errors in the downloaded project!

Is this normal? Is there a way to work around it? How to get the last working version so I can test?

Also, is there a place where this procedure is detailed? I'd be happy to write about it but I don't know what's expected.

Try updating the dependencies. Right-click on the topmost node in the package explorer (Forge [trunk]) and go to Maven->Update Dependencies. Check the "Force Update of Snapshots/Releases" just in case and click OK.

Great, that did the trick. After another week or two of getting to know the system, I'll write it into the wiki. Thanks for the help.

Not sure how to commit changes, am going to try now. Any tips welcome!

Update
Had a go at a commit, hopefully all is well. Now, off to learn PMD, Checkstyle, TestNG, and FindBugs.

I saw your commits, thank you.

The short answer to your question I believe is:

1 Synchronize with the repository.

2 Resolve any conflicts.

3 After resolving any conflicts you then Update All Incoming Changes.

4 You then can Commit All Outgoing Changes. When you commit your changes a dialog will be displayed. You can paste in a commit log message and you can choose to not commit all of the changes in your local project.

I followed the wiki instructions http://www.slightlymagic.net/wiki/Forge:How_to_Get_Started_Developing_Forge

1. Install Java - I was already at 1.6.0_27, and I installed the JDK
2. Install eclipse - successful. My workspace created in the default location.
3. Install subversion - I installed the Slik subversion installation package.
4. Install subclipse - successful. Options are available as the instructions indicate.
5. Check out the latest SVN - successful. Churned for some time, now my workspace has a large amount of data.

After the SVN loaded, the problems sub-pane listed 625 errors and 6 warnings.

For example:



And when I attempted to "Run as Application" - I also got the following error:

[Ivalen]

Looks like a lot of the 'libraries' are missing, so I started working my way through the errors. For example: BraidsAssertFunctions imports a library called "testng". I found it on the net, and 'installed new software.'

The error went away.

Okay looks like I need to manually discover each library location and deal with the imports one at a time. Problem is, this was the only one I got to work.

For example: bugzreporter.java imports "org.apache.log4j.Logger".

I found the SVN for it at http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/logging/log4j/trunk/

But when I install new software, eclipse "could not find" it. Argh.

Ivalen, did you update the Maven dependencies? It sounds like this is where your issue is coming from.
