new proj wizard [message #203504]

Fri, 02 November 2007 13:49

I want to write my own custom new proj wizard. The wizard will ask a
minimal set of questions - I want the output to be a "Dynamic Web
Project" plus a few artifact I manually add.

What is the right way to create a project from my wizard and set it up
appropriately as a dynamic web project?

creating a project facet that would add your artifacts to the project.
There is a tutorial on making new project facets that you can follow...

Thanks for the tutorial link - need to read it, but my idea is to
simplify the existing wizard. I dan't want to confuse my users with all
the normal wizard questions. For example - I know the targeted runtime
ahead of time so I don't want the user to have to answer that question.

Ok. The api that you want is available in the following package:

org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.*

A dynamic web project is basically a project with at least "jst.java"
and "jst.web" facets installed.

The following class is an entry point to the API with a bunch of static
methods:

org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.ProjectFacetsManag er

You will want to call one of the create methods on ProjectFacetsManager
to get an IFacetedProject object. That object has methods for setting
the runtime, installing facets, etc.

Thanks again - without the newsgroup - where is the best place to go to
find out about api's like this?

you kinda have to know which way to look first. :)

Gotcha - hopefully one last thing - I am creating the project - but how
do I set the "Default Server" used by Run on Server - so that the
project is readly to deploy in the servers view right after creation?

Right now - I don't see a Server entry at all in the project properties.

Nevermind - this seems to work:

IFacetedProject fp = ProjectFacetsManager.create(proj, true, monitor);
fp.installProjectFacet(ProjectFacetsManager.getProjectFacet( "jst.java")
.getDefaultVersion(), null, monitor);
fp.installProjectFacet(ProjectFacetsManager.getProjectFacet( "jst.web")
.getDefaultVersion(), null, monitor);

You need to definite a server runtime. You can do that using api located
in this package:

org.eclipse.wst.server.core

The starting class for that api is called ServerCore.

Once you have create the runtime, you will be able to see it in the
Targeted Runtimes properties page of your project, but it will not be
selected, you can go back to the faceted project api.

Use the following method to find the runtime. Note that this IRuntime is
different than server.core's IRuntime.

org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.runtime.RuntimeMan ager.getRuntime(
<name>)

Then you will want to call
IFacetedProject.setTargetedRuntimes(List<IRuntime>) on your project.

I can see in ServerCore where I can query the installed servers and
runtimes but how would I add a new runtime or server?

found this from Konstantin online (I'll try it out):

The API that you need is in org.eclipse.wst.server.core. You first need
to retrieve the IRuntimeType object that corresponds to the tomcat
runtime of the appropriate version. You can do that using the ServerCore
class. Once you have the IRuntimeType object, it has a factory method
for creating an IRuntimeWorkingCopy. You create the working copy, fill
it out and use the save method to persist your changes. That adds the
runtime to the workspace. Also, make sure to call validate prior to
calling save to make sure that you are not saving a mis-configured runtime.

I am having trouble setting the install dir of my server runtime. I use
setLocation() on the server runtime working copy but the result in the
debugger shows this on the RuntimeWorkingCopy instance map member (which
I can't access directly because it is discouraged):

{generic_server_instance_properties={serverRootDirectory=/yo ur_server_root/appservers/jboss-4.0.3},
id-set=true, location=D:/PROGRA~1/NORTEL~1/SCE/Jboss/jboss-4.0.2,
name=JBoss v4.0, id=org.eclipse.jst.server.generic.runtime.jboss4}

It is not obvious how I set the serverRootDirectory. Any ideas?

This is an aspect of how the JBoss adapter works. I am not 100%
positive, but you may have to cast down to the internal
RuntimeWorkingCopy class in order to access that configuration.

Why does adding the facets occasionally (not every time) give me a

// add the java and web facets
IFacetedProject fp = ProjectFacetsManager.create(proj, true, null);
fp.installProjectFacet(ProjectFacetsManager.getProjectFacet( "jst.java")
.getDefaultVersion(), null, null);
fp.installProjectFacet(ProjectFacetsManager.getProjectFacet( "jst.web")
.getDefaultVersion(), null, null);

It looks like WebFacetInstallDelegate.execute is using
WebArtifactEdit.createDeploymentDescriptor which based on what I see in
the debugger is going through a bunch of calls and eventually going
out to the internet to get the
http://www.ibm.com/webservices/wsd/j2ee_web_services_client_ 1_1.xsd
schema.

How can I include this schema in a plugin so the internet is not
ncessary to add the facet.
