RE: [mevenide-user] Executing without Jar

Hi Milos,

Thanks for your answer! I spent some time looking at the exec plugin,
few issues:
- netbeans seems to often replace the custom actions with the default
ones
- I have not been able to get working "compile exec:exec" as custom
action, I have to do the compile separately
- I tried to keep the netbeans action in the custom profile with no
luck, somehow now the special profile doesn't get used anymore
- how will the debug work with the exec? I assume in your plugin, you
pass several parameters to the jvm to enable the debugger

Also the embedded version of maven seems to complain about plugin
versions that require at least 2.0.6... which version is embedded? 

I think it would be nice to replace the jar template with an exec:exec
one. I wouldn't mind having a look at your code if I can get netbeans to
work correctly on my linux box and figure out how to dl correctly the
plugin.

Erik.

well, you can definitely override that and change all the Run and
Debug actions to run on top of classpath only.

exec:java will work for Run, but for Debugging you need either
exec:exec or execute the goals with external maven instance (as the
exec:java starts the app in the same JVM as the the maven build, thus
in the IDE's JVM in case you are runnign with the default embedded
maven)

the netbeans-run-plugin and the associated profiles that get created
in the pom is something I hacked together to get these features:
1. get separate console output for the user application
2. have a sort of setup that can be takes "as-is" and executed without
the ide and without maven. That was a copy of what the default j2se
project in netbeans was doing at that time
3. if I recall correctly the exec-maven-plugin was not stable and/or
didn't support embedded use correctly when I needed it.. I guess it's
time for re-evaluation but there's always more tasks than time..

What were the problems you encountered with the replacement of Run
action in the IDE?
You might need to write some config to pom, edit the bindings in the
Actions panel in the project properties dialog (and never ever touch
the Run panel there). Afterwards it should work. if not it's a bug I
suppose.
