DromblerFX & Eclipse - How to execute sample app?

[Dirk]

Hi,

I am actually using Netbeans for development. I am playing around with Eclipse and I am wondering what do I have to do to run the Drombler Sample application from Eclipse. The packaging type drombler-fx-application e.g. is not recognized, main-class is not found etc..

During maven build I get

...
[WARNING] Ignoring project type drombler-fx-application - supportedProjectTypes = [jar, bundle]

...
[INFO] --- exec-maven-plugin:1.2.1:exec (default-cli) ---
Fehler: main class true could not be found or loaded
...

My Eclipse run configuration looks like

Goals: org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin:1.2.1:exec

Parameter:

exec.args = -ea -Djavafx.verbose=true -Dbinary.css=false -Djava.util.logging.config.file=${project.build.directory}/deployment/standalone/conf/logging.properties -jar ${project.build.directory}/deployment/standalone/bin/foo.jar --userdir ${project.build.directory}/userdir

exec.executable = java

exec.classpathScope = runtime

exec.mainClass = org.drombler.fx.startup.main.Main

Any help appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Dirk,

I'm also working with NetBeans normally. To test this I've installed Eclipse Luna on my Linux machine. Unfortunately it crashes all the time. I will have to check it later on a Windows machine.

Hi Puce,

I have not given it a try since your last post. Did you have any success?

Hi Dirk,

I tried it on Windows as well, but I couldn't get it to work yet.

I will try to find some time to give it another try. I don't really see a reason why it shouldn't work. I'll also try to sepcify this directly in the POM.

I'm not sure if I'll find time this week though.

With the execution id "default-cli" it should be possible to specify a configuration for the command line which is supported also for Maven 3.0.x:

First tries running Drombler FX applications from Eclipse using the "default-cli" execution id were successful. I will add the necessary configuration to the archetype.

See issue [#72].

Unfortunately, I couldn't get the debug configuration inside Eclipse to work yet. Suggestions are welcome.
