Get Maven project from svn to Eclipse
May 3rd, 2008When you put a maven project under source control like SVN, you don’t have to check in the IDE’s project file. What you will do is check in the pom.xml and the source folder. That is enough for you to rebuild the project.
If you want to continue work on this project on your favorite IDE (like Eclipse) again, you can simply choose “File-import” and from the dialog box, select “Other – Check out Maven Project from scm” and the locate you source repository in the following wizard, and you are good to go. The Maven plugin will generate the project file for you according to pom file settings.
Create an Eclipse Project by Maven
April 28th, 2008You will install this 2 plugin: eclipse plugin for maven and m2eclipse( Maven 2 Eclipse plugin ).
First, you create a Maven project layout:
mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.langcode \
-DartifactId=Test
This will create a folder named Test ( artifactId, which is your release jar file base name).
After that, we will create the Eclipse project file:
cd Test mvn eclipse:eclipse
Now, we can start the Eclipse and import the project we created. And do the following steps:
- Right click on the project and enable Maven Package management.
- Update Maven dependency.
- Update Maven Source folder.
Now, you have an Eclipse development set up. You will want to add some common maven phase into Run menu using the “Run As” Dialog. Or, you can do it manually in CLI.
Some common tasks are:
Clean up:
mvn clean
Build Jar:
mvn package
Copy all dependencies into target folder:
mvn dependency:copy-dependencies
Run Test:
mvn test
Maven
April 28th, 2008These few days, I have special interests on maven. A java ( well, I am not sure if it is Java only) building tool.
The reason I am looking for a building tool is we are currently changing our development tool chain from NetBeans to Eclipse ( Some Windows nuts insist on JBuilder, which is based on Eclipse as well ). The problem is we have to do a lot to convert the projects to eclipse ones and have them built under eclipse. So, we want to find an IDE neutral build environment.
what is Maven?
Maven, a Yiddish word meaning accumulator of knowledge , was originally started as an attempt to simplify the build processes in the Jakarta Turbine project. There were several projects each with their own Ant build files that were all slightly different and JARs were checked into CVS. We wanted a standard way to build the projects, a clear definition of what the project consisted of, an easy way to publish project information and a way to share JARs across several projects.
The result is a tool that can now be used for building and managing any Java-based project. We hope that we have created something that will make the day-to-day work of Java developers easier and generally help with the comprehension of any Java-based project.
Maven’s Objectives
Maven’s primary goal is to allow a developer to comprehend the complete state of a development effort in the shortest period of time. In order to attain this goal there are several areas of concern that Maven attempts to deal with:
- Making the build process easy
- Providing a uniform build system
- Providing quality project information
- Providing guidelines for best practices development
- Allowing transparent migration to new features
How to get the absolute path to the folder of current program
December 24th, 2007How to determine Current Fedora version
December 23rd, 2007Setup rsync server
December 20th, 2007For example, we want to set up an rsync server to duplicate the subversion server data to other computers.
First, of cause we have to have rsync installed. For fedora, this should be included in default installation.
Then we will create the config folder and config in Fedora’s style:
cd /etc mkdir rsyncd cd rsyncd touch rsyncd.conf touch rsyncd.motd touch rsyncd.secrets chmod 600 rsyncd.secrets
Then will edit rsyncd.conf file:
pid file=/var/run/rsyncd.pid port=873 address=192.168.2.111 uid=root gid=root use chroot=yes read only=yes # limit access to LANS hosts allow=192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0 host deny=* max connections=5 motd file=/etc/rsyncd/rsyncd.motd log format=%t%a%m%f%b syslog facility=local3 timeout=300 [svn] path=/var/www/svn list=yes ignore errors auth users=svnsyncer secrets file=/etc/rsyncd/rsyncd.secrets comment=SVN Repository
We will add the welcome message to /etc/rsyncd/rsyncd.motd
Welcome the SVN rsync service
Add user/password to /etc/rsyncd/rsyncd.secrets
svnsyncer:123456
And then, we will create our init start up script named /etc/init.d/rsyncd
#!/bin/sh
#
# Startup script for rsyncd daemon
#
# chkconfig: 35 90 10
# description: Server data for sync to other server
# processname rsync
# Source function library
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
prog=rsync
conf=/etc/rsyncd/rsyncd.conf
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting rsync daemon: "
daemon /usr/bin/$prog --daemon --config=$conf
RETVAL=$?
echo
[ $RETVAL = 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/$prog
;;
stop)
echo -n "Shutting down $prog: "
killproc -d 60 $prog
RETVAL=$?
echo
[ $RETVAL = 0 ] && rm -f /var/lock/subsys/$prog
;;
status)
status $prog
;;
restart)
$0 stop
$0 start
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|status}"
exit 1
esac
exit 0
We will register and this service by
/sbin/chkconfig --add rsyncd /sbin/service rsyncd start
SSH no password login
December 19th, 2007Install sun JDK on Fedora 8
December 7th, 2007Download JDK from Sun’s website, and install it. The default install path should under /usr/java.
We create a new alternative entry:
/usr/sbin/alternatives --install
/usr/bin/java java
/usr/java/latest/jre/bin/java 2
and then we config the java alternative settings, select the sun version:
/usr/sbin/alternatives --config java
And we are good to go.
How to set up fcitx under FC7 with en_US.utf-8 locale
October 12th, 2007First, you can download the source tarball and use the regular configure, make and make install procedure to install it.
Then create a new input method entry: /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/fcitx.conf, with the content:
XIM=fcitx XIM_PROGRAM=fcitx GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx
Create and set up alternatives using fcitx
alternatives --install /etc/X11/xinit/xinputrc xinputrc /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/fcitx.conf 100 alternatives --config xinputrc
Now, fcitx should be good to use under zh_CN locale. If you want to use under en_US locale, do the following as well.
Edit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/xinput.sh, add “en” to the “_language_list” string.
Edit /etc/gtk-2.0/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu/gtk-immodules, add “en” to “xim” section.
