I have the application installed and running. I'm a novice programmer with php and some database stuff (actually I'm a pretty bad programmer but want to get better.) Anyway, this application can be of immense value to my company and I want to dig in and learn java and be able to modify it. I've been through eclipse tutorials and am working through 'Head first Java'. I've setup eclipse and am seeking a little direction and time savings on how to use this tool to be able to make changes. Let me explai further and throw in a few questions.
I've setup eclipse and tomcat. I can start tomcat in eclipse and the application loads on port 8080. I did a file import and selected \TimeEntry-5.080601\Source\WebTimeEntry\ROOT as the root. This lets me see/ modify the java files under WEB-INF/src. I've figured that the application seems to be running out of C:\WebTimeEntry\jakarta-tomcat-5.5.7\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes and ..\lib folders. I also see this file webboltons.jar but I get messages about source not found.
So basically I'm confused and could use any help. I think the java files compile to the .class files but how do I setup eclipse to allow me to compile stuff and what src files get compiled to what/where? I know this is a pretty big question but any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a situation where I have 600 active projects each with a few dozen task under them. I've combined the tasks and projects to form one list and tried the application but it is just too big of a picklist for the projects. So, I need to make the application support 2 level projects.
Thanks
Chris
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I would start with that. It does a step-by step on how to create a project for Web Time Entry. That will correct your classpath and source folder issues...
Then you can start diggin' into your mod....
See Ya
