[Biojava-dev] Eclipse + maven woes...

[Sylvain Foisy]

Hi,

Again, I feel stupid asking these newbie questions... I finally got my and
on a new MacBook Pro and re-installing the apps to get stuff moving. As
usual (I am sorry to say...), Eclipse and Maven are giving me a fit to do a
checkout of the developer's tree.

I have installed the latest Subversion and Maven plugins. When I want to
create a new project, I try the following:

1) I right click to select "New > Other..." in the Navigator panel;

2) I select "SVN > Project from SVN", which leads me to a window where the
 location of the developer's tree is in svn+ssh; in the window that comes
up next, I use this URL to get the "Finish" button activated:

 svn+ssh://dev.open-bio.org/home/svn-repositories/biojava/biojava-live/trunk

3) After that, I choose the "Check out as a project configured using the New
Project Wizard", which pop the window where I select "Maven > Maven
Project".

4) I get a "New Maven Project" window where I select the default. The window
then changes to a "Select archetype" where I also use the default
selections.

5) This is where I can't seem to be moving forward... The window that pops
out ask me for an Artefact ID. I am clueless about what to put... The
process stops there :-(

Maven is probably a cool tool but its learning curve is pretty steep...
Shouldn't all this be automatic after "Maven > Maven Project"

Thanks in advance. I'll put the solution into the wiki ;-)
