How to move a Jspresso project from one computer to another?

Perhaps this is an eclipse question?  I've got a Jspresso project on my laptop and would like to 

move it over to a fresh Eclipse installation (same version as on laptop) on another Mac.. I tried

moving the project over and importing the project contents but all of the Jspresso menu options

are missing (I installed all jspresso plugins and related stuff -- spring,etc).  Is there something 

special I need to do?  Thanks and Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!

Hi Rick

First of all, you will propose you the easier way to deploy your eclipse into a new another mac : you can zip your eclipse folder content and unzip it ! For your projects you can also copy them to your new mac anec use eclipse Import>General>Existant Projects into Workspace

If you prefer to investigate further, please send me the list of all your installed plug : go to Help>Install  new Software, and select the link "already installer"... look at the first tab "Installed softaware"

At first sight, it looks like if groovy eclipse were not properly installed...

Maxime.. Thanks for the

Maxime.. Thanks for the reply.. I did actually zip up the entire project directory tree and move it over without issue.. However, the 'look' of the two installations are completely different when using the import existing projects feature.. Below are the installed features of the 'new' eclipse setup.

  Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers 1.4.1.20110909-1818 epp.package.jee null

  Groovy-Eclipse Feature 2.6.0.xx-20111212-0900-e37-RELEASE org.codehaus.groovy.eclipse.feature.feature.group Codehaus.org

  Jspresso Developer Studio Feature (Eclipse 3.7SR1+, GroovyEclipse 2.5.2+, M2E 1.1+) 1.7.0.20111208-RELEASE org.jspresso.contrib.sjsplugin.feature.feature.group Maxime HAMM

  Jspresso Developer Studio Spring Feature (SpringIDE 2.7+) - Optional 1.0.0.20111208-RELEASE org.jspresso.contrib.sjsplugin.spring.feature.feature.group Maxime HAMM

  Maven Integration for Eclipse (Required) 0.12.1.20110112-1712 org.maven.ide.eclipse.feature.feature.group Sonatype, Inc.

  Maven Integration for WTP (Optional) 0.12.0.20110421-1500 org.maven.ide.eclipse.wtp.feature.feature.group Sonatype, Inc.

  Spring IDE Core (required) 2.8.1.201111220115-RELEASE org.springframework.ide.eclipse.feature.feature.group Spring IDE Developers

 

I'll try to recreate the sample app to see if it comes up OK or not..

Ok.. All fixed.. I had

Ok.. All fixed.. I had forgotten to setup the maven jspresso repository on the new install.. I eventually blew it away and started over and things were ok.. However, the folder structure didn't import properly until I told it I had an archive file to use instead of an existing set of filesystem files..  So, I think the best way is to zip up the old code bring it to the new machine and import it directly from the zip file and leave the unzipping to Eclipse -- that works best.. Thanks for the help!

M2E version

Hi Rick,

I also see that you use an old (0.12) M2E version.

Note that we've just updated the setup instructions and from now on, we definitely recommend going with M2E 1.1 milestone.

 

Best,

Vincent
