[jetty-dev] Jetty dev env - Eclipse setup problems

[Viktor Szathmary <phraktle@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a Jetty dev environment to work on some performance patches. So far following the documentation at http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/contributing-source-build.html yielded little luck and would appreciate some help.

1) the doc suggest checking out  git clone http://git.eclipse.org/c/jetty/org.eclipse.jetty.project.git

however this just yields 403-s. so checked out from github (which repo is not referenced in the docs), and switched to the release-9 branch.

2) on a clean eclipse profile, installed m2e "Maven Integration for Eclipse (Juno and newer)"  v1.0.0

3) trying to File > Import > Existing Maven Projects yields about a 100 errors of this sort:

No marketplace entries found to handle build-helper-maven-plugin:1.5:parse-version in Eclipse (66 errors)

  No marketplace entries found to handle Execution set-osgi-version, in aggregates/jetty-all/pom.xml in Eclipse. 

  ... [basically for every project] ...

No marketplace entries found to handle build-helper-maven-plugin:1.7:parse-version in Eclipse (2 errors)

  No marketplace entries found to handle Execution parse-version, in jetty-osgi-npn/pom.xml in Eclipse. 

  No marketplace entries found to handle Execution set-osgi-version, in jetty-osgi-npn/pom.xml in Eclipse.

No marketplace entries found to handle maven-bundle-plugin:2.3.4:manifest in Eclipse (40 errors)

  No marketplace entries found to handle Execution bundle-manifest, in jetty-osgi-boot-jsp/pom.xml in Eclipse. 

  ...

Which of course results in none of the projects building.

So any suggestions on how to actually get a working dev environment in Eclipse?

Thanks,

  Viktor

p.s. a rhetorical question: was Maven intentionally designed to feel like an attractive cabinet, that if you open up, a ton of alien junk falls on your head, when all you really wanted is to get a coffee-cup? :P
