[Geoserver-devel] Upgrading the maven eclipse plugin to version 2.10

GeoServer GeoServer Developer
1

Hi,
any objection to upgrading the maven eclipse plugin to version 2.10?

I’m currently facing a problem where the eclipse:eclipse puts a JTS 2.12 in the
gs-main classpath, for no reason that I can see, and this breaks debugging
from Start.java because GeoTools depends on a new method that is available only since
JTS 1.13 in the clipper.

I believe the reason to stay with 2.5 was that more recent versions move the test
source folders before the src/main/java in the eclipse project tree, but I have to
admin it does not bother me much.

Ah, it is also to be noted that the plugin is no more maintained, but the Eclipse
maven integration was still pretty bad performance wise last time I tried (as
the maven plugin page admits, too, for large projects).

Cheers
Andrea

No objection here - I’ve been using the eclipse built in mvn support for the last 4 or 5 years and haven’t noticed a problem with it.

I normally keep imageio-ext, jai-ext, geotools, geowebcache and geoserver
all open at the same time in a single eclipse (as normally I need to jump
a lot between their sources), while having another 20-50 projects normally
closed, last time I tried Eclipse m2e this way it would take like half an
hour just to start and
was slow as molasses.

What setup do you have?

I only(?) have geotools, geoserver and geowebcache in mine - I see startups of a few minutes (5 or so for first of the day when it rescans the repos) on my desktop.

Andrea,

well spotted. I can confirm the .classpath problem.

I found the cause: jaiext:1.0.13, the parent of jt-concurrent-tile-cache:1.0.13, declares a top-level dependency on jts:1.12. It looks like our version of maven-eclipse-plugin uses a slightly different dependency management algorithm to Maven: it considers the path length to the dependency, and, as a top level dependency in gs-main, the path via jt-concurrent-tile-cache wins. Manually editing the jaiext:1.0.13 pom in my local repo to depend on jts:1.13 (in two places) fixes the gs-main classpath, as does modifying the gs-main pom to exclude the jts transitive dependency via this path:

   <dependency>
     <groupId>it.geosolutions.jaiext.concurrent-tile-cache</groupId>
     <artifactId>jt-concurrent-tile-cache</artifactId>
     <exclusions>
       <exclusion>
         <!-- maven-eclipse-plugin appeasement -->
         <groupId>com.vividsolutions</groupId>
         <artifactId>jts</artifactId>
       </exclusion>
     </exclusions>
   </dependency>

Note also that GeoServer uses maven-eclipse-plugin 2.4, not 2.5 as used by GeoTools. Upgrading GeoServer to use 2.5 had no effect. I have not tried 2.10. I recall that changing the folder order caused problems; failing tests, perhaps? A long time ago.

I only use maven-eclipse-plugin, never m2e, because I want precise control of my inter-project snapshot dependencies. I never want anything updating a snapshot behind my back. I always build with "-nsu". This allows me to build a GeoTools snapshot on a local branch and then a GeoServer snapshot on a corresponding local branch that depends on the GeoTools branch, without Maven grabbing some new snapshot from a remote repo and overwriting my local build. My bad experiences with m2e are from a long time ago, and perhaps I should try again? Thanks Ian for the encouraging reports.

Kind regards,
Ben.

So I an are you going to update the build instructions so others can try out the eclipse built in mvn support :slight_smile:

Thanks, Andrea. That is indeed the email I remembered but could not find. Here is an updated post-codehaus Jira link, which details the GeoTools breakage with maven-eclipse-plugin 2.6:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MECLIPSE-548

If this is the issue you remember, then it's probably safe to upgrade. I'll

I am sure that this is the issue. If I have any problems with maven-eclipse-plugin 2.10, I will report back. We should also upgrade GeoTools.
