How to configure the Hippo Repository in eclipse

Prerequisites

• maven 1.0.x
• Eclipse 3.2.x
• JDK 1.4
• subversive 1.1.x plugin (NOT the subclipse plugin)

Configuration steps

1. Install eclipse
2. Setup your environment with all the above prerequisites and the subversive plugin properly configured
3. Add svn repository https://svn.hippocms.org/repos/hippo
4. Check out the trunk as a project with name Hippo-Repository
5. open a console in the checked out repository folder
6. in the following sub folders run maven eclipse"
   1. server/
   2. components/excalibur-openjms/
   3. components/excalibur-slide/server/
   4. components/excalibur-slide/common/
   5. components/excalibur-slide/client/
7. Now for the trick: delete the .project file from the root of the checked out source tree (while keeping Eclipse open/running and don't refresh the project tree)
8. In eclipse choose "Import Existing Projects in Workspace" and point to the folder of the checked out source tree. All (Java based) subprojects should be shown and preselected.
9. After the import, Eclipse will automatically recreate the deleted .project file in the checked out source tree
