         Attachments: Eclipse build path error axis2-webapp.png

Im trying to get the current trunk to work in Eclipse using Maven plugins and \
following the guide on the project site by essentially checking out and executing \
"mvn -DskipTests=true install eclipse:eclipse". This works mostly, but one problem is \
the created build path for the project axis2-webapp.

pom.xml of that project references the resource ".../kernel/conf", that resource is \
transferred to be an Eclipse source folder and the problem with those is that they \
can't be outside the current project this way. While one is able to link arbitrary \
source folders into the project, that's not what the Maven plugins are doing. Instead \
they are translating the path to some absolute one and simply adding it as is, but \
Eclipse uses it as some relative path because by design all those source folder paths \
need to be relativ to the current project, without leaving it. Things like ".." don't \
work as well in the dialogs of Eclipse.

The file ".classpath" of Eclipse contains the following entry and you can see how \
Eclipse uses that in the attached screenshots, it simply doesn't work. Removing the \
resource of pom.xml resolves the issue, but I guess it's there for some reason, you \
surely need the properties files of ../kernel/conf.

{QUOTE}
<classpathentry kind="src" path="C:/Users/tschoening/Documents/Eclipse/Java \
Axis2/axis2/modules/kernel/conf" including="*.properties" excluding="**/*.java"/> \
{/QUOTE}

So how about putting the properties files directly in the conf folder of axis2-webapp \
instead of referencing them? This would make Eclipse user's life much easier.

While I know that copying those files is a bit bad, the only other alternatives are \
svn:externals or symlinks on file system level. svn:externals don't work with GitHub, \
but a lot of people seem to use your project mirror there, and symlinks on file \
system level are most likely only implemented in GIT/SVN-clients for Linux, not \
Windows. Windows-Eclipse users like me would need another workaround for that \
problem. :-) In the end, it doesn't look like those properties file change that \
often...

Would be nice if you could fix this somehow. The only workaround I have currently is \
to remove that source folder manually and/or add the needed one using other Eclipse \
mechanisms. But I guess you would prefer as well that creating project files etc. \
works automatically as much as possible.
