[Geoserver-devel] Maven and Eclipse

Hi all,

I recently found the ability to have the eclipse plugin link to sources as well as binaries when creating an eclipse project. I have found this very handy because I can now wander about the source code of third party libraries we depend on like spring, commons, etc...

The downside is that it took me an hour to do an eclipse:eclipse on the entire geoserver source tree :). I committed the option commented out in the root pom, so try it out if interested.

One thing I would like to do is set up geotools to install source jars as well. That way I would not have to load up the gt source in my workspace when just hacking on GeoServer, but still be able to browse the gt code.

Instructions on how to do this?

This is a good idea justin; I would like to see source jars included in the geotools (and geoserver) deploy process.
(And JTS if we can get away with it).
