Set XE Web Debug Project dependencies using M2Eclipse

Set XE Web Debug Project dependencies using M2Eclipse

Here we give to XE Web Debug Project its own pom.xml containing what we want to find in published WEB-INF/lib folder.

The better way whould be to use "official" XE web pom.xml file using a virtual file for example but the problem is that M2Eclipse resolve only direct XE web dependencies and not Platform web dependencies. So we will have to build our own pom.xml file.

There is lots of different way to configure dependencies depends of the needs.

Generally the easier way for XE is to create a pom with web-standard as parent and synchronise it with XE web pom for all XE dependencies (except web-standard dependency obviously). All XE dependencies versions are store in XE root pom.

Here are some example of this pom :

• based on XE 1.4-SNAPSHOT : pom.14.xml
• based on XE 1.5-SNAPSHOT : pom.15.xml
• based on XE 1.6-SNAPSHOT : pom.16.xml

This pom.xml files set Platform Web Standard project as parent and add all XE specific plugins. It also provide mysql, derby, hsqldb and postgre connectors.
