RE: [pde-dev] Automatically setup workspace for a project

["Veerasamy, Thirumalai (Cognizant)" <VThiruma1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No, that's not what I want. Let me explain with what we do.

We have 4 projects, one EAR, one EJB and two WARs. Whenever we need to
create a workspace, we do the following.

1. create a folder
2. open wsad pointing to that folder
3. goto cvs perspective
4. create a connection to cvs server
5. locate the branch/version for each project
6. check out all 4 projects
7. need to set some jars since each developer may have the common jars
which won't be there in CVS in different folder structure
8. create WAS Test Environment 
9. rebuild all project and fix all the issues till you get 0 errors.

Though this seems to be a simple, in reality it could take at least 2-4
hours depends upon the memory, the developer's knowledge about the
projects and required depenedency jars, etc.,

I want to hide all these steps and want to do one task which will do at
least till step 8.

Hope I explained the scenario clearly.

Regards
Thiru

Hi
To achieve this you can use IResourceAdapters and its corresponding 
listeners. following thing you have to do.

1. Write a Plugin which listens tothe workspace events (refer 
IResource/IAdaptable) API interfaces.
2. In the listening events do what ever you want. -> for eg. if a
project p 
is opened an event will be fired with Id of OPEN simly, close and
refresh, 
move  and delete.

the best way to write listeners. one more advantage if you want to set
up 
classpath and all, you can use of ProjectBuilder APIs so that you can
map 
some entries from CVS to classpath.

do get back to me if its not clear.

regards,
Pradheep.

I want to do this through Eclipse/WSAD since after the workspace is
setup through automation, if I open my workspace through eclipse/WSAD it
should be the same as if I do it without the automation.

But I don't want to do it through UI since it is bit slow sometimes and
people don't know how to set up some jars, etc., Run the tool, do
everything, people should be able start working on the project, that's
it.

there are quite possible ways.

1. CVS.org provides APIs for checking out/in you can write a appl. which

does this.
2. Invoke a antscript (to check out and configure files ....

apart from these instead of doing with out opening IDE you can do this
work
when ever eclipse starts ??? See IResource and its change Listeners.

Hi,

     I am planning to write a tool, which will automatically checkout
the
source from CVS, change the .classpath settings and do some more
activities without invoking eclipse IDE. I mean headless operation. Is
it possible? If yes how?

Thanks
Thiru
