I'm just getting started with Eclipse so there may
be a simple answer to my problem, but I haven't found
it yet.

I can't find a way to check out the hibernate tools and
create the PDE projects for the eclipse plugins under
Eclipse.

If I use Eclipse to check out HibernateExt, I'm told that
I can't create a new project using (say) org.hibernate.eclipse
because it overlaps with the HibernateExt project.

I can create the org.hibernate.eclipse project if I
first check out HibernateExt from the command line, but then
I loose the ability to use Eclipse to keep the source up to
date.

Any pointers?

Thanks

I guess you import the project after you check it out. To hook it up to the sourceforge CVS again, just go Team->Share project and accept the defaults, it will connect it to the CVS for you.

HTH,

No luck. I still get the "overlaps" complaint from Eclipse when I try to create the HibernateExt project after having
created org.hibernate.eclipse.

(shell) cvs co HibernateExt
(eclipse) create org.hibernate.eclipse from source
(eclipse) create HibernateExt from source

Option 1: Don't check out HibernateExt as a project.
From eclipse, check out
org.eclipse.hibernate.feature.
org.eclipse.hibernate.help
as individual projects.


Option 2:
When you check out HibernateExt from the command line don't check it out under your workspace, and make sure HibernateExt is not an eclipse project, then import and share..

I thought of that. The problem is that then each project
has to be updated against cvs individually, plus I need to
check out HibernateExt (skipping the eclipse projects)
so I can build hibernate-tools.jar



I've been checking it out outside the workspace (no help).
As I understand, "import" will copy the code from the
source into the workspace and I'm back where I started.

The other problem with this approach is

(from the Build & Contribute page) which assumes
that the projects live in the HibernateExt tree, not outside
it.

I finally managed to get the environment set up,
although it is somewhat ugly.

Here is what I did:

(eclipse) checkout Hibernate
checkout HibernateExt
(shell) mkdir ../hiberate/
cd ../hibernate
ln -s ../workspace/HibernateExt .
ln -s ../workspace/hibernate-3.1 .
ln -s ../workspace/Hibernate .
(eclipse) create projects for eclipse plugins based on
the symbolic link

George

why are you guys making it so complex ;)

the recipe is simple:

cvs co hibernateext
create/import an eclipse project for each subproject (do not create a eclipse project for ALL of hibernateext)

Updating cvs is no problem since you can do cvs synchronization/update on multiple projects.
