Openfire project setup in Intellij IDEA

Openfire Openfire Support
1

I have downloaded the latest sources of Openfire from github and imported the project into Intellij IDEA.
When I build the project the following errors are thrown:

Error:(19, 25) java: package com.install4j.api does not exist
Error:(20, 25) java: package com.install4j.api does not exist
Error:(21, 25) java: package com.install4j.api does not exist

Error:(56, 16) java: cannot find symbol
  symbol:   variable super
  location: class org.jivesoftware.openfire.launcher.Uninstaller

I tried adding i4jruntime.jar from build/lib directory in modules dependencies as suggested here but it throws another error

Content root "Openfire\src\java" is defined for modules "starter" and "webadmintld".
Two modules in a project cannot share the same content root.

Earlier I tried in eclipse too where the errors ran into thousands.

Please help me with setting up the project and how to debug it.

Thanks.

How did you import it? The best way is to tell it to import the pom.xml, rather than the whole directory.

Thanks for the reply.

I am completely new to Maven and followed suggestions found in google.

I imported as Existing Maven Project into eclipse and selected the pom files.
It shows the error

No marketplace entries found to handle native2ascii-maven-plugin:1.0-beta-1:native2ascii in Eclipse

I followed the suggested solutions here and set it to my own maven installation of maven 3.2.2 but it still throws the same error.

I tried using maven 2.2.1 bug get the error Target is not a supported maven home. It seems eclipse removed support for older versions of maven.

When I do project->Maven->Update Project it threw thousands of errors like:

In Intellij I imported pom.xml file and did “Build Project” and the first shown errors are generated

I wouldn’t build the whole project in your IDE; use the command line (mvn verify). Simply use the IDE for editing files, highlighting syntax errors etc. So long as you can open a selection of .java files, and you IDE doesn’t complain, you should be good to go.
