I am trying to setup a multi module SpringMVC appfuse applicaiton in Eclipse but it seems that I'm facing lots of errors in Eclipse after I import the project in Eclipse. Can anyone please help me with a step by step guideline showing the ideal way to setup such application in Eclipse?

Have you tried using maven eclipse plugin? You can just go to the project root folder (the one that contains your pom.xml file) and run "mvn eclipse:eclipse" from the command line.

This will build project files for each of your modules and also create inter-dependencies. You can just treat your multi-module project like a workspace with multiple projects.

Most of the errors that appear at load time, after mvn eclipse:eclipse are because of the repository variable. You can configure this by using "mvn -Declipse.workspace= eclipse:add-maven-repo".

More info on maven eclipse plugin at http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-eclipse-plugin/.

I know this problem, it's not related to Appfuse but rather to Maven itself. I suggest to follow these steps:

  • set up your project;
  • create every directory/source needed: mainly java sources and resources files, for both application AND unit tests;

  • make sure everything compiles and all tests pass. for this you can check with

    mvn package

  • use the eclipse maven plugin:

    mvn eclipse:eclipse

This way the project will include everything that's needed in the classpath: Spring and Log4j configuration files, resources, etc.

If you already executed the mvn eclipse:eclipse command, just delete the project from Eclipse (DON'T DELETE FILES!), remove Eclipse-specific files from directory, re-run mvn eclipse:eclipse

My 2 cents

What are the errors? The most common problem I can think of is library errors, in which case you have to edit the build path.

From what I recall for multi-module projects, eclipse just does not handle this well. It would help to see the specific errors you're getting, and then to start from there.
