couldnt recognise pom.xml file - maven-2

i am build forge as build tool. it is executing maven mvn commands fine ,but it couldnt recognizing the maven project pom.xml to run the build.so i tried to execute the same pom.xml through the command window and that is working fine could any one can help me how to solve the issue
i am using maven 2.09 version and build forge 7.1
is there any compatibility issues with maven if so what are they
thanks Dagg

I'm not sure you'll find more Build Forge knowledge here on SO (but I may be wrong) than on the forum where you posted the same question :) Build Forge doesn't seem to be very popular actually (and its forums not very active). That said, according to this message, it should be possible to kick off a maven project but, according to other messages from the same thread, the support seems limited and you are "on your own".
In your case, my guess is that maven is not started in the right "working directory" (or it should be able to find the pom). But this is just a guess, I don't have any BF knowledge (lucky me).
To be honest, you should consider talking to your IBM commercial guy or to IBM support or, if this is an option, just using something else than BF unless it's really providing value. Maybe your organization will thank you after all.

Versioning APIs during internal development

In our team we have a number of APIs specified using the Open API Specification (formerly Swagger). We use Maven and OpenAPI Generator to generate code, build and publish the artifact to our local nexus. We build our code on TeamCity. The artifact is given the version that is specified in the pom.xml file of Maven.
During development we only use snapshot versions, that is versions which can be overwritten and will be cleaned up. This is opposite to release versions, that cannot be overwritten and needs administrative privileges to clean up. The reason for this is, that a developer usually changes a little bit at the time, which is much more convenient with snapshot versions. This also makes cleaning up outdated unreleased artifacts much easier.
Our problem is, that from time to time a developer makes API changes but forgets to set a new version. This works fine locally, but when the code is build on TeamCity the changed API overwrites the artifact of an older version. A developer not working on this branch will then experience a compile error, because the code does not match the API artifact being used.
What does others do? Is there a best practice? Preferably with standard tools. We have tried many things and nothing works well. At the same time this issue is so basic that someone must have a good solution - or at least experience enough to point to the least bad solution.

How I can use the JavaFX framework?

firstly, I want let you know how useful this community is for me, I was stuck on an error
`Error: JavaFX runtime components are missing, and are required to run this application`
and thanks to this answer I actually solved: link
However I've a couple of questions. I noticed that IntelliJ doesn't change the configurations (Like set the VM option and pick the right library for the javaFX project), so each time I've to create a new JavaFX11 or 12 project I've to being throw all the manually settings again.
There's a way for set a "default behaviour" for the IDE ? It's really cumbersome.
The second question is, how I can use all the beautiful framework that the developer community offer for JavaFX? I've seen on openjFX a couple of interesting framework like TilesFX or CalendarFX but there's no information on how implement them on my IDE neither on GitHub nor here.
I have seen that most of them uses Gradle files, but honestly I don't have the faintest idea of what this kind of file does and how implement it on IntelliJ. Thank's to everybody.
Run the project with a more recent JDK like JDK11, for example.
If it does'nt work, you probably forgot to change the JDK of your builder in IntelliJ!
Open the settings and follow the path as bellow:
FOR MAVEN
FOR GRADLE

Eclipse 3.7 RCP Application with multiple plugins

What is the right way to make an RCP application that is “ready for plugins”? I have struggled to do this basic concept and am trying to accomplish this in Eclipse 3.7 (latest 3.x version).
Step 1
I would like to explore this by using 3 eclipse plugin projects:
• HelloWorldRCP
• HelloWorldPluginA
• HelloWorldPluginB
Would it make sense to make HelloWorldRCP with all the common things such as a menu-bar with an Edit menu including cut, copy and paste menu items? The HelloWorldPluginA could add an additional menu-item called “Alpha” and HelloWorldPluginB could add yet another menu-item called “Beta”? However, the cut, copy and paste functionality could still work within Plugin A and B?
Step 2
Next, how do I deploy this as a “product”? I have made a new product configuration and defined the dependencies from the default runtime configuration that was made. I do notice that there are a lot of dependency jars that are included, but I don’t think I use them. For example, I don’t use data-binding to my knowledge, but it keeps coming up as a required dependency.
I go to Export | Eclipse Product and an executable environment is created in my desired folder. However, when I copy this to another machine it seems to keep referencing the original machines Java installation location. How does one get around this?
I have tried to bundle a jre with the Product Export but nothing is created. I have also just tried copying my jre6 as a jre folder. This does seem to work.
Next problem here is the 32/64 bit Java execution environments. What is advised here? I have been aiming to build on 32 bit only and then hopefully that will run on 32 or 64bit platforms. Is this correct?
Step 3
I need to web-start this now. The old way of initiating an Eclipse 3.5 application, using a startup.jar has changed. I now use the equinox launcher and reference it in the jnlp instead of the startup.jar. However, I keep getting an exception which seems related to the 32/64 bit equinox win32_64 jar. I notice that the export writes a folder and not a jar. I read somewhere that this is a “clever trick” to allow compatibility for both 32 and 64bit runtime environments.
The problem here is that I need a jar and not a folder so that I can sign the jars required and deploy accordingly.
Does anyone have a Java Web-start example for and Eclipse 3.7 RCP application? Or any advice?
You are going to need a lot of time to learn everything you've asked about here.
Here is one of the best places to start... http://www.vogella.com/eclipse.html
That site covers a lot of basics. But you need a little more than basics.
The best example of a working RCP product with some of the features you require can be found at ... http://max-server.myftp.org/trac/mp3m
This guy (Kai) makes all of the source code available via SVN, and he has some very advanced stuff going on in his application. He also has a good blog with some advanced RCP tips and tricks. http://www.toedter.com/blog/
Another thing you'll want to investigate is Tycho. I realize that you didn't mention anything about building your application, but I've found that using Tycho for building has made my most recent foray into Eclipse RCP 100 times better than the other times I've done RCP work. So, my advice, get to know Tycho. http://wiki.eclipse.org/Tycho/Reference_Card
The learning curve of Eclipse RCP is somewhat steep, but I think it's worth the effort.
Good Luck!

Best IDE for Grails 1.1.X development [closed]

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.
Closed 10 years ago.
I've been on a frustrating quest to find an IDE which provides reasonable support for Grails 1.1 development. My minimum requirements are:
Supports running tests within the IDE
Supports debugging within the IDE while running either the tests or the app itself
Provides code-completion, including dynamic finders added to domain classes
Here's a rundown of my experience so far
Eclipse 3.4.2 (Ganymede)
Using the latest plugins available from the update site, Eclipse's support for Groovy/Grails is truly pathetic. It provides little more than code completion and spurious errors
NetBeans 6.7 Beta
As soon as I imported the project, NetBeans began scanning it. The Navigator view was waiting for the scanning to finish before showing it's contents. About 20 minutes later, both the Navigator view and I were still waiting. Also, support for code completion on dynamic finders is poor, and for some reason it copied all the plugins into $PROJECT_ROOT/web-app/plugins.
IntelliJ 8.1.2
Although the general consensus is that IntelliJ is the best IDE for Groovy/Grails, it does not work well with Grails 1.1.X. The root cause of the problem appears to be the change in the location of the plugins folder. IntelliJ is unable to build the app because it can't find classes I'm importing from plugins, even though those plugins are listed in application.properties
So my question (finally) is whether anyone has found an IDE (not TextMate or Vim) that works with Grails 1.1.X when the plugin folder is in it's default location, i.e. under $HOME/.grails/1.1.X/plugins?
If so, I'd be really grateful for information about:
Which IDE to use (including version number)
Which plugins (if any) need to be installed
How to import an existing project into the IDE
How to run the app, the tests, and debug from within the IDE (if it's not obvious)
Thanks,
Don
NetBeans 6.7 now with Grail 1.1 support
I'm unclear on which version of IntelliJ IDEA the author of that blog post tested, tha didn't work with Grails 1.1.1.
Idea 8.1.2 works very well for me on OSX with Grails 1.1 and 1.1.1. Grails is installed under /Developer/grails-1.1.1 (with a symlink at /Developer/grails ), and the plugins are in the ~/.grails/1.1.1/plugins directory.
I didn't have to install any extra Idea plugins. What I did have to do was tell it where the plugins were, and install the missing ones once I had upgraded to 1.1.1. IDEA's grails integration can even recognize the plugins from the Grails repository and install them from the IDE.
NetBeans 6.7 RC3 works much better with Grails 1.1.1 than the versions before. Debugging only works in attached mode, i.e. you start your application from the command line (grails-debug run-app) and then attach the Netbeans Debugger (port 5005). My experience is that the watches do not show the correct values of the running process. Automatic code formatting is horrible.
IntelliJ 8.1.3 worked good for me with Grails 1.1. Debugging was working correctly (most of the time, from time to time, the status of the debugger does not match the actual process' status) and code formatting is quite good. After I switched to Grails 1.1.1 IntelliJ refuses to start my app ("error running MyApp: Grails are not configured") although grails is installed and GRAILS_HOME is set correctly. The trick is to change the facet in the module settings of your project. There you have to configure the location of your grails 1.1.1 installation. Then IntelliJ crashed while starting your app and you have to do the configuration again . With a little bit of luck it works then and everything is fine.
I've spend a lot of time with these issues in the last days and I am quite angry about that. Therefore I'd like to recommend to go away from grails and to use ruby on rails with NetBeans 6.7 instead. Then you can start to focus on your business, not on configuration and installation issues. If you really need to stick with grails, use IntelliJ and pay for it. It's worth it. Do not even think about using Eclipse, if you do not want to go crazy.
I've been playing around with the version 9 milestone 1 release of IntelliJ and so far have not had any problems working with grails apps.
One thing i did notice was that the project explorer doesn't always refresh properly when files are added via an automated process. sometimes i have to close and re-open the project to see the new files, but that could just be a beta issue in general and not related to the grails support.
They've added a lot of Groovy and Grails support to the latest version of the Spring Source Tool Suite. It doesn't ship with these plugins by default, but there are options to install them as extensions from the dashboard page.
Some of the nice features include the ability to run grails commands in the IDE and support for editing GSPs. The Groovy language support has gotten much better too with the latest release of the plugin. You can read more about that here.
The Spring Tools Suite is also an excellent choice for grails/groovy development. I use it and do not have any cause for regret.
I've been using Netbeans 6.7 for some time and it's very slow, the code completion rarely works. Basically I'm using it as an editor and to format my code.
I used the EAP version of IDEA 8.1 and it was really nice - very easy to setup and develop in compared to the other IDEs. Sorry I don't remember exactly how to import an existing project but it was fairly straight forward.
If cost is not an issue, then IDEA would probably be the best choice.
I use STS (SpringSource Toolkit), I like it better than Intellij or Netbeans. I am using 2.3.3.M2

How do you distribute the IDE and it's configuration within your Team?

I'm wondering how Software Development Team distribute their Standard IDE(s)?
E.g. developing with Eclipse, custom Code formatter, svn Resository, Copyright Header..
At the moment my Team has a standard zip File which is then distributed withhin the developers.
Problem:
If one file, a Plugin or the IDE itself changes, e.g. new Coding Guidlines, Upgrade Eclipse 3.5.1 the whole distribution has to be done again. Every developer needs to unzip the bundel again. Imagine your working with different Workspaces (Jetty, different Tomcamt Versions, WTP) due to Project History That doesn't scale
I know that there are some related Articels
A new version of Eclipse just came out. Is there anything I can do to avoid having to manually hunt down my plugins again?
Manage Your Eclipse Install With A Local Git Repository
And some comercial Programs.
Eclipse also has a new Update-Installer Approach
But I don't see the Killer App. How do your team solve this? Is there a best practice?
I guess best would be a Program letting you choose your current Project and then downloads the configured IDE from the Server and leting you know if Project Config Files are Updated
For eclipse look at Buckminster it targets exactly your target I suppose, didn't use it personally through.
At my previous company they wrote a custom update agent that pulled from a centrally configured server which was updated by the team leaders. It worked well, until people wanted to install their own plugins.
Basically, a developer wanted a plugin, fought in futility to get it included in the default (managed) repo, installed it himself, then updates broke on his machine when the team lead had a sudden stroke of common sense and included it.
They never did come up with a 'good' way to manage it. But, at least they didn't put us all on terminal servers with thin clients.
