Adding a playground / contrib
Submitted by mrieser on Wed, 2010-06-02 10:10.
Note: The following text will always mention "playground", but the same steps can also be used to create a new contrib-project inside "contribs".
In the playgrounds-project, there exists a directory _template which can be used as a starting point. This template already contains the directory structure and svn meta data for a typical playground. Best is, to copy the template using svn commands. That is:
- on the command line, go to the playgrounds-project:
cd /path/to/workspace/playgrounds/ - execute
svn copy _template nameOfNewPlayground - in Eclipse, refresh the playgrounds-project (right-click on project > Refresh, or F5)
- in
nameOfNewPlayground/pom.xml, change the Artifact Id and the project name from "_template" to the name of the new playground. - add the name of the new playground as a module in
playgrounds/pom.xml
Important
Do not copy the
Do not copy the
_template directory in Eclipse or in the Explorer! In every case except "svn copy", the metadata will not be correctly updated, resulting in a corrupt svn checkout!
