Unable to run project in Eclipse #85

Closed Pysis868 closed 6 years ago

Pysis868 commented 8 years ago

Downloaded the project's source code as a zip archive, extracted it, imported it into Eclipse Kepler (4.3.1?).

In the Problems pane I noticed this error:

Project 'ftl-profile-editor' is missing required source folder: 'src/test/resources'

There must be something wrong we your project creation settings. This project doesn't come with such a folder. I personally use IntelliJ IDEA (highly recommend btw), which has an option to import a Maven project, the build tool used for this and many other Java projects. You should look if you can find something similar for Eclipse.

Ok, I'll look into it some more.

Was playing with getting the M2Eclipse plug-in installed last night, but the update site seems to be dead. That should also have a similar Maven import feature.

Maybe it is a generated directory as I can see in the .classpath file it, like many others, are marked as "maven.pomderived". I just half-expected tests to be manually created by the developers and exist in the project.

So, I did get it working eventually.

Using Eclipse and its Maven plugin, and also IntelliJ IDEA, I was able to get the project running. It had a host of errors complaining about the run method not overriding any existing implementation, but the project still runs. Maybe take those out?

I've never used your dev environment, but it sounds like you might be compiling with Java 1.5?

Java 1.5 did not recognize @Override annotations on interface methods. That was introduced in Java 1.6.

You may need to adjust Eclipse's compiler compliance level to 1.6? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2335655/why-is-javac-failing-on-override-annotation
