WTP Builds on OS X [message #67078] Mon, 24 January 2005 01:32 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
WTP has now built itself on my OS X 10.3 PowerBook.

I don't know what donext.

Impressions:

The documentation was thin. Mine was a three day process; coming
back to see what broke most recently, fixing the Ant file or
path, returning to work and forgetting about it. It didn't take
up too much of my time however, so in the end, I'm impressed.
That is quite a complicated build.

Changes:

The only changes I made to the buildAll.xml where to the unzip
command for the 3.1-M4 distrubtion used to build WTP. I had to
change that to <untar compression="gzip"/> for the OS X distro.

Also, I had to chmod the eclipse executable, since the untar did
not preserve the exec bit.

Question:

I'm able to run the build-current 3.1M4, and I directories with
wtp in the name in the plugin directory, but I'm not seeing
anything new an wonderous in the IDE.

Where can I look to see web specific features? I'm sure you're
probably setting up infrastructure. I'm really looking to study
what's going on. I'm not expecting to find a workable IDE.

You can now create J2EE and static Web projects. Once working in a Web
project you have some new tools available to you including DTD, XML and
XML Schema editors and validators, data access tools, and server control
tools.

For some getting started documentation take a look at the tutorials posted
on the WTP community page
http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/community/community.xml.
