I need some help migrating our Java projects from JBuilder to Eclipse as
part of an evaluation. We have an existing structure that works very
well for us using ant and JBuilder but I can't understand how to get
Eclipse to integrate with it.
I have read the user's guide, read the FAQs, and tried the plugins to no
avail. Maybe someone has an idea that will help.
Our projects are comprised of an in-house framework + applications which
reside in the same source code tree. The framework is shared across 5
different released products. The source code root looks like this:
src/com/api/
frome there it is separated into:
com/api/applications/ // all applications resides here
com/api/applications/app1/ // code for product "app1"
com/api/applications/app2/ // code for product "app2"
and our framework (small subset):
com/api/framework
com/api/framework/image // framework code associated with images
com/api/framework/util // utility code
Our framework is build as a project distributed as one or more jars
files and our application is build and released as separate jar file.
We create two projects for each application
- Application project which only includes the application sub-package:
com.api.application.app1 - used by ant script for building release -
Development project which includes application package + framework -
used by developer (doesn't use jar files, just classes)
I have failed to figure out how to get Eclipse to recognise and build
only a subset of packages (or files). When I create a project and ask it
to import code or I define the source code location it wants to pull in
EVERYTHING with no options for excluding items.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thank you,
Mike
