Java library debug compile with Maven - How?
-
All, I'm using ikvm to interface to a java library from .Net. I've hit the point where I need to debug the java code and realise that ikvm supports this if the library is compiled for debugging. Not being a full-time developer or familiar with java and it's associated tools it doesn't seem clear how I rebuild the library for debug with Maven (the supported build scheme of this library). Could someone kindly explain what I need to do here? Also, I'd appreciate it if someone could explain the roles and overlap between Eclipse, Maven and Ant. I must say that I'm slightly confused. Also, with Eclipse I assume that I need to add several plug-ins to make best use of it? It seems a bit raw as it is (compared to visual studio) but maybe that's because I'm unfamiliar. Is there a set of plug-ins that are deemed "must haves" to make best use of Eclipse? All helpful comments and feedback welcome! Regards, David
