Re: cactus in eclipse

Hi Pedro,

the Cactus plugin for Eclipse used to be bundled with the Cactus
distribution, but later it was
removed from it. After that the Eclipse WTP wanted to take part in
maintaining it. Now, again, it
is being distributed with Cactus. I have made some significant efforts to
bring it back to be compatible
with Eclipse 3.3 (Europa), so in order to give it a try here is what you
have to do.

1) You need to have Eclipse 3.3 installed.
2) You also need to have Subversion and Maven installed.
3) Checkout the Cactus project from here:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/cactus/trunk
(Once we make a release you won't need to download the whole project, but
for now you need).
4) Navigate to integration/eclipse and type the following in your shell:
mvn clean install
5) Once the process is finished (It may take a lot of time - like 10 or 15
minutes), you should go to the
subfolders org.apache.cactus.eclipse.runner/target/ and
org.apache.cactus.eclipse.webapp/target/ and
see the zip's that have been made.
6) Take both the org.apache.cactus.eclipse.webapp-1.8.0-SNAPSHOT-bin.zip and
the org.apache.cactus.eclipse.runner-1.8.0-SNAPSHOT-bin.zip
and extract them in your ECLIPSE_HOME/plugins folder.
7) After that start(or restart) Eclipse and there should be the Cactus
plugin installed in your Eclipse.

Let me know if you have any problems.


Cheers, Petar.

P.S. This is the mailing list you should post your message ;-)
