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

make_eclipse_project:
