How to set up a working development environment for Nuxeo EP on Eclipse on Windows?

Hi everybody
I was evaluating Nuxeo for an important new project for my
firm, but in 
a week of trials we weren't able to set up a working
development 
environment for Nuxeo EP on Eclipse (on WinXP Pro SP2). I'll
describe 
precisely all steps I followed, but if anybody here was able
to set the 
development environment in Windows, and could explain to me
how to do 
the same, it would be enough!

I started, step by step, with the instructions in file 
http://svn.nuxeo.org/nuxeo/doc/nuxeo5-dev-quicksta
rt-howto.txt, and 
everything was fine up to point "6.2 -
Deploying".
I logged in as Administrator into http://localhost:8080/nux
eo, and it 
worked.

My next goal was to set up Eclipse as a development
environment for 
Nuxeo, so I followed instructions in chapter 7 -
"Installing Eclipse".

I installed Eclipse 3.2 and all required plugins
(Subversive, Maven2, 
AnyEdit, JBossIDE), and then followed chapter "8.6 -
Eclipse configuration".

In chapter 9 - "Load / checkout the org.nuxeo.*
projects into eclipse", 
it is written: "Then go back to the Java perspective
and import the 
projects you have previously checked out as eclipse
projects:
File > Import > General > Existing Projects Into
Workspace"

I set up as projects root the folder nuxeo-ep, where I had
checkout 
http://svn
.nuxeo.org/nuxeo/nuxeo-ep/trunk.

Eclipse imported all projects from the trunk, but it showed
some errors 
because of some missing projects.

So I referred to "Checking out all NX projects"
from file 
https://svn.nuxeo.org/nuxeo/tools/eclipse-config/REA
DME.txt.

I thus imported file 
https://svn.nuxeo.org/nuxeo/tools/ecli
pse-config/NXPlatform-subversive.psf, 
but I had a feeling I had created a mess.

Then I tried to exchange the order of those two steps (of
course, I 
started all over again from a clean workspace with a checked
out nuxeo-ep):
- I imported 
https://svn.nuxeo.org/nuxeo/tools/ecli
pse-config/NXPlatform-subversive.psf,
- I selected File > Import > General > Existing
Projects Into Workspace 
using as root nuxeo-ep folder.

But there were still "... cannot be resolved"
errors, which I tried to 
fix "manually".

At last, I came to a set up with "just" one error
left: "The import 
sun.awt.motif cannot be resolved".

Even if I couldn't fix that one, I tried to follow steps
from "10 - 
Deploying from eclipse", where it says:

"Then drag and drop the ``build.xml`` of the
``org.nuxeo.ecm.webapp`` to 
the ant view and then trigger the following target named 
``deploy-ecm-all``."

I did that, but got this error message:

"Buildfile: C:nuxeo-eporg.nuxeo.ecm.webappbuild.xml

BUILD FAILED
C:nuxeo-eporg.nuxeo.ecm.webappbuild.xml:6: Could not
create task or 
type of type: urn:maven-artifact-ant:pom.

Ant could not find the task or a class this task relies
upon."

I'm afraid that this problem isn't only caused by the
missing import of 
awt. I'd like to know if I followed the right steps (that's
why I wrote 
them all down), in the right order, or if there was
something missing.

Thank you very much for reading all this stuff!

Ciao
Gabriela

              Buongiorno Gabriela,

          I'm a developper here at Nuxeo and I'm one of the
few who are 
still using Windows (I'm thinking to switch to linux soon).
For the 
moment, deploying the whole application from eclipse doesn't
work. What 
you can do is continue to use ant from the comand line for
deployment 
and, after the application is deployed, if have a small
change in one of 
the projects, then you may drag the build.xml corresponding
file and run 
"deploy-ecm".
          This will soon change after the full mavenization
the will 
happen quite soon.
          If you have anymore questions about setting up
your 
workstation, please do not hesitate.

Ciao,
Narcis

I have the same environment (Windows...)
The better thing to do is the version :
- svn co http://svn.
nuxeo.org/nuxeo/nuxeo-ep/trunk
- Open Eclipse in the Workspace checkouted
- Import existing projects into Workspace

After important things to do :

(Maven and Ant have to be installed in your environment)
- modify build.properties in root directory to specify the
jboss dir
(from a cmd in your root project directory)
- mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true install
(You have to be connected to internet)
- ant clean (don't forget ANT_OPTS=... in your environment)
- ant (if you want to deploy)
(In Eclipse, projects present Maven Dependency with all jars
needed)
- Check in Eclipse "Window/Preferences.../Maven2"
if the location of the 
repository is good.
- do a "clean all projects" in Eclipse

Is it good now ?
