Missing build.xml when creating project with ClickStart?

Question

I am using Eclipse EE version and CloudBees plugin to create a ClickStart JBoss 7 project. However, I am not very familiar with the EE version of Eclipse, and used Netbeans to edit my JSP.

Then I used CloudBees SDK to run and deploy my new project but it failed (the command prompt):

D:\Personel\Java EE\HelloCloudBees>bees run

ERROR: java.io.FileNotFoundException: D:\Personel\Java EE\HelloCloudBees\build.xml (The system cannot find the file specified)

I found no build.xml file in my folder. How can I create it?

Answer 1

bees run command expect an ant-based project structure, so the build.xml. As documented

CloudBees project commands are only available for applications generated using the Bees wizard (on the web), built using the CloudBees SDK style.

This is more or less some legacy stuff, as is now superseded by ClickStart. Equivalent command would be bees app:run but require your app to first be packaged as a WAR and only support the default tomcat6 runtime. So for your specific use-case would be simpler to package and deploy on a local JBoss 7 server. To deploy on RUN@Cloud, use bees app:deploy or just git push and let DEV@Cloud Jenkins build and deploy for you (assuming you created app with a clickstart).

Also, there's no need to use Eclipse if you're familiar with NetBeans.

Answer 2

Have you tried out maven?If yes you can download it and then use mvn eclipse:eclipse and then you can import your project in your workspace using eclipse import capabilities.File -> Import -> Maven -> Existing Maven Project...you point to the file where your pom.xml file is..and is imported. Take into accoutn m2eclipse plugin in eclipse must be installed prior.
