Is there an Eclipse project for programming the KonaKart storefront?
How do I load the source code into Eclipse for easy development of the storefront?
Thanks.
Yes, there is a simple way to create an Eclipse project for developing the storefront in Eclipse.
First open a command window in the custom directory of your installation:
(Showing the example on Windows where KonaKart is installed at C:\KonaKart which is the default):
You will see there are actually two Eclipse projects that can be created:
PS C:\KonaKart\custom> .\bin\kkant -p | findstr Eclipse
make_eclipse_project Create an Eclipse Project for Developing the Struts-2 Storefront
make_eclipse_wizard_project Create an Eclipse Project for Developing the Product Creation Wizard
For developing the storefront you need to run the make_eclipse_project target
When you run the make_eclipse_project target note the additional comments displayed at the end:
PS C:\KonaKart\custom> .\bin\kkant make_eclipse_project
Buildfile: C:\KonaKart\custom\build.xml
Trying to override old definition of task javac
make_eclipse_project:
