Re: Magic Eclipse target

David, I too am in need of an Eclipse plugin for Magic, so I'm looking 
at the stuff Steve referenced.  I modified a ".classpath" file that was 
produced by Maven's Eclipse plugin, so that my current project that I'm 
building with Magic will use the jars in Magic's cache.  The Magic 
Eclipse plugin/task will need to create a file similar to this.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<classpath>
  <classpathentry kind="con" 
path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER"/>
  <classpathentry kind="src" path="src/main"/>
  <classpathentry kind="output" path="target/classes"/>
  <classpathentry kind="src" path="src/test" output="target/test-classes"/>
   
  <classpathentry kind="var" path="MAGIC_CACHE/junit/jars/junit-3.8.1.jar"/>
  <classpathentry kind="var" path="MAGIC_CACHE/log4j/jars/log4j-1.2.8.jar"/>
  <classpathentry kind="var" path="MAGIC_CACHE/jaxme/jars/jaxmejs-0.2.jar"/>
  <classpathentry kind="var" 
path="MAGIC_CACHE/jibx/jars/jibx-run-beta3c-1.0.jar"/>
  <classpathentry kind="var" 
path="MAGIC_CACHE/jibx/jars/jibx-bind-beta3c-1.0.jar"/>
  <classpathentry kind="var" 
path="MAGIC_CACHE/jibx/jars/xpp3-beta3c-1.0.jar"/>
  <classpathentry kind="var" path="MAGIC_CACHE/ant/jars/ant-1.6.2.jar"/>
  <classpathentry kind="var" 
path="MAGIC_CACHE/ant/jars/ant-nodeps-1.6.2.jar"/>
</classpath>

You can modify your ".classpath" file manually until a plugin is 
created.  Just refresh your project when your done (no need to close 
Eclipse).  You will also need to create a classpath variable tnamed 
"MAGIC_CACHE" to your cache directory.  For example: "C:\Documents and 
Settings\Owner\.magic\main".  Eclipse > Window > Preferences > Java > 
Build Path > Classpath variables
