Introduction

In order to build the wireXN sources you must configure your Maven installation to access your local Eclipse installation -- this is required only for building the wireXN plugins for Eclipse.

Quick Setup

STEP 1/3 -- set Maven to use at least 256MB of RAM by adding the following to your environment variables: MAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx256M

STEP 2/3 -- copy the following into you local Maven settings file: 

<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0
                      http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">
  <activeProfiles>
    <activeProfile>eclipse</activeProfile>
  </activeProfiles>
  <profiles>
    <profile>
      <id>eclipse</id>
      <properties>
        <eclipse.home>path/to/eclipse</eclipse.home>
      </properties>
    </profile>
  </profiles>
</settings>

Maven looks for this file in your user directory, usually under ~/.m2/settings.xml. If this file does not exist you should create it.

STEP 3/3 -- copy or symlink the Eclipse launcher from $ECLIPSE_HOME/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_LAST_VERSION.jar to $ECLIPSE_HOME and rename it to startup.jar (where $ECLIPSE_HOME is your Eclipse installation directory; it should contain the eclipse.exe file).

The Rest of It
