[Components4oaw-discussion] Unable to configure a development environment for ea_tool_support

[David C. <dav...@gm...>]

Hi!

As I commented before, I'm interested in sequence and state-machines
support in ea_toolsupport. I've managed to get some time to hack
ea_toolsupport in order to develop support for such diagrams. I've
been some days studying the source code, and now I would like to run
the tests and  play a little with the debugger prior to start coding.

I had no experience with Maven, but I thought I had managed to
correctly configure the develop environment. I'm using Eclipse and
m2eclipse, and after a little research I have a workspace without
errors. I had problems with the artifacts
"com.sparxsystems:eaapi:jar:0.7.846" and
"com.sparxsystems:ssjavacom:dll:0.7.846", but I think I solved it with
the commands:

mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.sparxsystems -DartifactId=eaapi
-Dversion=0.7.846 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.sparxsystems
-DartifactId=ssjavacom -Dversion=0.7.846 -Dpackaging=dll
-Dfile=/path/to/file

If I execute the command "mvn compile" into the directory
"ea_com_interface", the build is successful both in Eclipse and
terminal. Unfortunately the command "mvn test" fails with 17 errors,
and the logs show the error "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not
initialize class org.sparx.Repository". I've attached one of the XML
log files.

I have no idea why the tests are failing, and how I can solve that.
Could someone comment on how you have configured your development
environment?, I would be very grateful if some someone could help me
with the problems I pointed before.

Thank you very much :-)

Cheers!
