Building from source

Checking out the source

The source is currently checked into the sandbox area of the OpenEJB project's subversion repository. To checkout the source, run this command with your subversion client.

  svn checkout https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openejb/trunk/sandbox/openejb-eclipse-plugin openejb-eclipse-plugin

Building the source

To build the plugin you will need Maven (the build has been tested with Maven 2.0.7). To run the build, issue this command

  mvn -Dassemble clean install

You should be aware that this will download any dependencies, including a copy of Eclipse. This will take a while for your first build.

Importing the plugin code into an Eclipse workspace

You can generate the Eclipse projects for the plugins by running the following command

  mvn eclipse:clean eclipse:eclipse

You can add the M2_REPO classpath variable to your Eclipse workspace by running the following command

  mvn -Declipse.workspace=<path-to-eclipse-workspace> eclipse:add-maven-repo
