>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>There are some more tips one has to pay attention:
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>Tip (b): Do not try to use Eclipse to pull the complete
>>>>>>>>>Glassfish code.
>>>>>>>>>After you waited for hours, you will remark that Glassfish is
>>>>>>>>>not one
>>>>>>>>>project in Eclipse but you need to have one Eclipse project for

>>>>>>>>>out of subfolders of a project. To fix it, you need to remove the
>>>>>>>>>Glassfish project (but beware not to remove its content!). It's
>>>>>>>>>easier
>>>>>>>>>installing CVS once you have found where to get it from.
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>Tip (c): Don't try any other thing but downloading the
>>>>>>>>>glassfish/bootstrap. For example, do NOT try that:
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>md Glassfish
>>>>>>>>>cvs -d :pserver:<userid>@cvs.dev.java.net:/cvs checkout bootstrap
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>While it will result in exactly the same checkout you will soon
>>>>>>>>>remark
>>>>>>>>>that some (don't ask me why) was so clever to add
>>>>>>>>>"../../glassfish" into
>>>>>>>>>the dependencies of some projects, so in fact Maven will not be
>>>>>>>>>able to
>>>>>>>>>resolve dependencies. If you didn't hear what I told you, then you
>>>>>>>>>should do "mv Glassfish glassfish" as soon as possible... Unix
>>>>>>>>>is case
>>>>>>>>>sensitive... Would be great if someone could change the Maven
>>>>>>>>>files to
>>>>>>>>>not include "../../glassfish" but only "../" instead. It took
>>>>>>>>>me two
>>>>>>>>>hours to find out about that.
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>(2) The given command sequence is not sufficient. After
>>>>>>>>>installing CVS
>>>>>>>>>on my OpenSUSE 10.1 laptop, I did what BuildGlassFish.html
>>>>>>>>>wants me to do:
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>% mkdir workspace
>>>>>>>>>% cd workspace
>>>>>>>>>% cvs -d :pserver:<userid>@cvs.dev.java.net:/cvs checkout
>>>>>>>>>glassfish/bootstrap
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>As I wrote before, there is a CVS bug, so actually I had to do
>>>>>>>>>% cvs -d :pserver:<userid>@cvs.dev.java.net:/cvs logout before the
>>>>>>>>>checkout to make the checkout work.
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>BTW, it is funny that I need to pass my name but not my
>>>>>>>>>password. But
>>>>>>>>>maybe its only me that thinks it would be a better idea to have
>>>>>>>>>either
>>>>>>>>>an anonymous account for readers plus a UID + PWD secured
>>>>>>>>>account for
>>>>>>>>>committers.
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>(3) As next step the web site wants a contributor to create a
>>>>>>>>>build.properties file. It would be great if someone could
>>>>>>>>>change the web
>>>>>>>>>site to use a fixed size font to render the variable names. This
>>>>>>>>>improves readability a lot. I had to read that chapter five
>>>>>>>>>times to
>>>>>>>>>understand it correctly, just due to readability.

>>>>>>>>>(4) The web site says JDK 1.5.0_07 is needed. Actually I doubt
>>>>>>>>>this.
>>>>>>>>>AFAIK it should work with any JDK 5 implementation.
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>(5) Also the site says "Previously, we need to set 2 extra
>>>>>>>>>variables ".
>>>>>>>>>I wondered "previously to what"? In fact the file shall contain
>>>>>>>>>four
>>>>>>>>>lines but not two. So why not just "add x and y to that file"?
>>>>>>>>>Also you
>>>>>>>>>say "...no need to set those now". Cool, I shall do something
>>>>>>>>>but I
>>>>>>>>>shall not do it now. If you liked to confuse the contributor
>>>>>>>>>with that
>>>>>>>>>sentence, you succeeded finally!
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>(6) You want contributors to install and use an outdated
>>>>>>>>>version of
>>>>>>>>>Maven. This is not very smart. It would be highly appreciated
>>>>>>>>>to update
>>>>>>>>>the Glassfish project to the latest Maven 2.0.4, since 1.x and
>>>>>>>>>2.x are
>>>>>>>>>almost incompatible and users that started with current Maven
>>>>>>>>>2.x just
>>>>>>>>>don't know how to handle Maven 1.x projects. Also it is not
>>>>>>>>>very smart
>>>>>>>>>that I need to have Maven 1.0.2 installed just to compile
>>>>>>>>>Glassfish
>>>>>>>>>while all my other projects are done using Maven 2.x. Its just
>>>>>>>>>squandered time.
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>(7) Maven 2.0.4 allows projects to be located in hierarchic
>>>>>>>>>folders, as
>>>>>>>>>you did it with the workspace/glassfish/bootstrap folders. You
>>>>>>>>>can use
>>>>>>>>>Maven to compile a single project by starting it inside of that
>>>>>>>>>folder,
>>>>>>>>>or you can make it compile the complete glassfish by starting

>>>>>>>>>root folder. Unfortunately glassfish is missing the needed
>>>>>>>>>Maven files
>>>>>>>>>in the root folder to make it work. Instead, you are forcing the
>>>>>>>>>contributor to cd into glassfish/bootstrap, what in fact is not
>>>>>>>>>(a)
>>>>>>>>>Maven style (b) intuitive. Once having migrated to Maven 2.0.4 you
>>>>>>>>>should change this ASAP.
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>(8) Maven 2.0.4 suggests to have tests inside of the project

>>>>>>>>>not to have a separated test project. For example, tests for

>>>>>>>>>entity-persistence/tests but not inside of

>>>>>>>>>This enables users to test a project by doing: cd
>>>>>>>>>entity-persistence;
>>>>>>>>>mvn test, what in fact is (a) Maven style and (b) intuitive.

>>>>>>>>>merge HEAD-branched contributions, just remove the tip with the

>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>(b) Don't let contributors decide whether to download a complete

>>>>>>>>>there is no

>>>>>>>>>is not
>>>>>>>>>working correctly (I tried it out several times), always force

>>>>>>>>>(10) IDE Support: Most Java programmers are using Eclipse. Sun
>>>>>>>>>staff, I
>>>>>>>>>know, this hurts you. But it is the truth. Since Glassfish is
>>>>>>>>>an Open
>>>>>>>>>Source project it should take care not to ignore Eclipse
>>>>>>>>>people. Due to
>>>>>>>>>that reason, here are some points to take care of:
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>(a) You have a nice page talking about IDE Support. But it only
>>>>>>>>>talks of
>>>>>>>>>NetBeans. Please add information on Eclipse, JBuilder, IDEA...
>>>>>>>>>or remove
>>>>>>>>>the NetBeans instructions otherwise. This would only be fair.
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>(b) The source code contains NetBeans specific stuff. Maven
>>>>>>>>>actually
>>>>>>>>>contains plugins for creating IDE projects out of a Maven
>>>>>>>>>project. This
>>>>>>>>>should be the preferred way. Remove the NetBeans stuff from the
>>>>>>>>>source
>>>>>>>>>and add a netbeans plugin to Maven. That's not only cleaning
>>>>>>>>>the source,
>>>>>>>>>it also will be a great benefit to Maven.
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>(c) Heres the lines lots of contributors might be waiting for:
>>>>>>>>>If you
>>>>>>>>>want to edit (and compile) Glassfish with Eclipse IDE, its just
>>>>>>>>>easy as
>>>>>>>>>this:
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>- Glassfish consists of a lot of single subprojects. Each one
>>>>>>>>>has to be
>>>>>>>>>its own project in Eclipse. You need to know that.
>>>>>>>>>- If you want to edit / compile e. g. entity-persistence, then
>>>>>>>>>do the
>>>>>>>>>following.
>>>>>>>>>- cd workspace/glassfish/entity-persistence
>>>>>>>>>- maven eclipse
>>>>>>>>>- This made maven create an Eclipse project our of that Maven
>>>>>>>>>project.
>>>>>>>>>Cool, isn't it?
>>>>>>>>>- Open Eclipse IDE
>>>>>>>>>- Import "Import existing project into workspace"
>>>>>>>>>- Select workspace/glassfish/entity-persistence
>>>>>>>>>- That's all. You can edit now. Eclipse will compile on the
>>>>>>>>>fly, as
>>>>>>>>>you're used to.
>>>>>>>>>- To build the project, from the command line type: maven build
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>(11) ANT support: I have seen several build.xml files. Actually
>>>>>>>>>Maven
>>>>>>>>>can create build.xml on the fly, so to keep the source clean
>>>>>>>>>and to let
>>>>>>>>>us help by Maven as much as possible, just remove them. They
>>>>>>>>>are not
>>>>>>>>>needed if you have Maven 2.0.4.
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>(12) A tip to the ones using Linux: It is not possible to compile
>>>>>>>>>Glassfish using GNU Glasspath. You really need Sun JDK 1.5. To
>>>>>>>>>ensure
>>>>>>>>>that Maven is using the correct SDK, you should do export
>>>>>>>>>JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_07 before issuing the maven command!
