Im begining to wonder if its “me”/“netbeans”, ive followed directions given in threads and documents regarding opening openfire as a “project” in netbeans.
Ive downloaded src from the zip -and- installed an SVN proram and downloaded the -entire- trunk for openfire -and- spark.
after this ive created both Java project from exsisting sources and Java free-form project, followed instructions given in threads and the compling spark for dummies document, regardless of methord or entire day effort, various packages are coming up as “not exsisting” in both openfire source and spark.
is there something wrong with whats available via SVN?
If you want to verify the full source is there and is correct, from the command line go to the build directory and run “ant”. If it builds with no errors, you have everything.
By “clean source tree” I mean, unziped or retrieved from SVN before doing anything with netbeans. The document you mention is contributed by a community member, not Jive Software, so you may want to ask the author of it questions of how he did it. I do not use Netbeans to build openfire or other projects; I only use it for the editor.
Yes, i have a “root” copy that i copy -from- into the netbeans project folder (which is where netbeans is pointed), netbeans doesnt get to touch the “root” copy.
smack is available to netbeans “Spark” project via build\lib + <default package>
if you use netbeans (6.1?) it seems a good number of posters also do, would it be possible for a “source package” for Openfire and Spark be done?
something that can be put into the netbeansprojects folder and be up and running from there?
Im not a big fan of including IDE project files in svn for public projects. Especially for multiple IDE’s since they will quickly get out of sync with eachother.
as a note Netbeans -will- build it for you (tested it and it does work), in the project properties change the build options from “run” = “run tests” to “run” = “release”
