Hi All,
Here are step by step instruction for building logback under Eclipse in 61 easy steps. ... - Install Groovy-Eclipse Feature from http://dist.springsource.org/release/GRECLIPSE/e3.7/
That's available directly from the Eclipse Marketplace, FWIW. ...
- Run 'mvn eclipse:eclipse' in $LOGBACK_HOME
I'd suggest making that 'mvn eclipse:clean eclipse:eclipse', just in case there's anything that should have been tidied up that wasn't. However, I also hit a bit of a chicken & egg scenario, here ... [INFO] Building Logback Classic Module ... [INFO] Failed to resolve artifact. Missing: ---------- 1) ch.qos.logback:logback-core:jar:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT i.e. I couldn't create a build environment for logback-classic until I had logback-core in place. Knowing that the API hadn't changed, I simply downloaded logback-core-0.9.30.jar and installed it temporarily as 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT; mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=ch.qos.logback -DartifactId=logback-core -Dversion=1.0.0-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=logback-core-0.9.30.jar
That's it. Please let me know if the above works for you.
I had to remove and then add back the JRE1.5 system libraries to the build path to get rid of a number of errors along the lines of "Access restriction on <class> due to restriction on required library rt.jar". Google suggests this is a common problem/resolution with any newly imported JDK1.5 Eclipse project where the default JDK for Eclipse is 1.6. However, Eclipse is still highlighting errors (27 in total) against all the Groovy files; a typical example is Description: Groovy:Apparent variable 'Introspector' was found in a static scope but doesn't refer to a local variable, static field or class. Possible causes: Resource: PropertyUtil.groovy Path: /logback-classic/src/main/groovy/ch/qos/logback/classic/gaffer Location: line 30 Type: Java Problem So I suspect that my Eclipse install isn't quite right. However, the good news is that "mvn install" from the command line is perfectly happy with the Groovy files , and will happily build, package and install everything locally, so it's pretty damn close to working (*). (*) OK, so there was one test failure in logback-core; I'll raise a ticket/submit a pull request for it, as I believe it is trivial. Greg
