You're getting stuck by several things at once. As it turns out
GVC is one of the trickier frameworks to just import into Eclipse
because they don't use the Eclipse incremental compiler. Their
projects are wired with the ant builder and they depend on a design-
by-contract preprocessor step. So what you're seeing is ant
freaking out trying to build the project and I'm assuming it can't
find the ant plugins/tasks necessary to actually pull it off.
Their frameworks also define several classpath variables that you
need to set to allow it to build. They may document the exact
steps to import their frameworks into Eclipse -- if anyone has
docs, it's Chuck, that's for damn sure.
:-P Though, looking at them, they need some version number updating.
Lastly, it would APPEAR that out-of-the-box the GVC frameworks (I
just attempted this import as well) trip some exception inside of
Eclipse itself. What you're seeing with the disappearing project
contents is that when you turn down the arrow, something inside of
Eclipse is throwing an exception in the processing of the java
model for that project. If you were to open the Errors View (not
Problems view -- Errors view, which is mostly a developer view that
you don't really need) you would see there are some crazy really
low level exceptions. I've honestly never seen these errors
before, so maybe Chuck can shed some light on his import process.
_if_ Eclipse is properly configured, there should be no errors. I
have seen some classpath error occasionally that I am unable to
explain. What exceptions are you seeing?
I would recommend starting smaller than this ... You're jumping
into Eclipse development by importing an enormous set of
interdependent projects (that use a custom build process). Go
through the initial tutorials first. Chuck has written some
tutorials for importing projects from Xcode, too, that you might
want to go through.
I have? There is one here, but it is not mine. Though I may well
have written others and forgotten about them already.
If you want to charge headstrong into working with a big set of
frameworks, Project Wonder is actually probably an easier import.
It's a very "traditional" set of Eclipse/WOLips projects that
should import and build cleanly out-of-the-box (no ant
dependencies, etc) either from CVS/SVN or from the filesystem.
Yes, Wonder is what I aspire to. And will reach once we can ditch
this Ant builder.

I'm trying to dive into Eclipse/WOLips and just to understand how a
full project is supposed to look w/ packages,etc, I downloaded GVC's
wonderful FrameWorks source. I can use the Import option in
Eclipse to
import from these pre-existing projects. However, it starts to
immediately build them, having trouble the ant function and certain
lacking other frameworks. That's perhaps all fine and good. What gets
me is that every project (with an x on it now) has a pull down bar.
Clicking on the project in the package explorer "loses" the expansion
arrow and its empty.
Would someone who groks eclipse care to tell me whats going on with
this poor UI, and why I can't access any files that were just
imported
and processed. It saw them, and now its telling me its all off
limits,
so how can I fix anything?
