Re: [Geotools-devel] Using Eclipse

[Ben Caradoc-D. <Ben...@cs...>]

I use two separate Eclipse workspaces.
https://www.seegrid.csiro.au/twiki/bin/view/Infosrvices/GeoserverDevelopmentSetup

My attempts in 2008 to make a giant GT+GS aggregate pom were 
unsuccessful. Conflicting and transitive dependencies caused major pain. 
Unless you include all modules in a single mvn eclipse:eclipse run, GT 
code will be resolved in the maven repo when debugging GS. This is a 
minor pain.

Yes, this means you have to mvn install your GT module and then refresh 
your GS Eclipse. Yes, this could be better.

Hint: "mvn -o clean install" in the module you are hacking. Use 
-DskipTests for even faster builds.

(No skipping tests before you commit.)

Kind regards,
Ben.
