Re: [Handle-info] Loading Handle source code in Eclipse

[Ben Companjen <ben.companjen@dans.knaw.nl>]

Thank you, Robert.

With your instructions and a bit of common sense, I managed to get rid
of the build problems. I forgot to mention I'm on Mac OSX 10.8 (so
anyone trying to replicate my efforts on different platforms might find
things are a bit different).

What I did to get it all working:
- moved the src folder to the top level
- removed the SigarWrapper.java file
- removed the sigar.jar reference from build.xml
- removed the JAVA_SRC variable and replaced it by an Eclipse reference
to the system's JRE (1.7)
- downloaded JDK 7 EE from Oracle and extracted the zip file to a known
folder (~/Applications/glassfish4)
- added
~/Applications/glassfish4/glassfish/modules/javax.servlet-api.jar to the
build path as an external JAR
- git clone https://github.com/maxmind/geoip-api-java.git to ~/git
- cd ~/git/geoip-api-java
- mvn package
- add ~/git/geoip-api-java/target/geoip-api-1.2.15-SNAPSHOT.jar to the
build path
- smile, because the build problems went away :)
- see Eclipse find 1400+ Java problems (references to raw types and dead
code are in the first 100 warnings)

Would you accept patches?
