Setup developer machine with Eclipse for a new CQ project

1) Follow the steps here http://www.cqblueprints.com/xwiki/bin/view/Blue+Prints/The+CQ+Project+Maven+Archetype

2) To be able to build maven module projects with out any errors, you need to add the below to the “Parent” maven project’s pom.xml

<plugin>

<groupId>org.eclipse.m2e</groupId>

<artifactId>lifecycle-mapping</artifactId>

<version>1.0.0</version>

<configuration>

<lifecycleMappingMetadata>

<pluginExecutions>

<pluginExecution>

<pluginExecutionFilter>

<groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>

<artifactId>maven-scr-plugin</artifactId>

<versionRange>[1.7.4,]</versionRange>

<goals>

<goal>scr</goal>

</goals>

</pluginExecutionFilter>

<action>

<ignore />

</action>

</pluginExecution>

<pluginExecution>

<pluginExecutionFilter>

<groupId>com.squeakysand.jsp</groupId>

<artifactId>jsptld-maven-plugin</artifactId>

<versionRange>[0.4.0,]</versionRange>

<goals>

<goal>generate</goal>

</goals>

</pluginExecutionFilter>

<action>

<ignore />

</action>

</pluginExecution>

<pluginExecution>

<pluginExecutionFilter>

<groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>

<artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId>

<versionRange>[2.3.7,]</versionRange>

<goals>

<goal>scr</goal>

</goals>

</pluginExecutionFilter>

<action>

<ignore />

</action>

</pluginExecution>

</pluginExecutions>

</lifecycleMappingMetadata>

</configuration>

</plugin>

3) Change settings.xml to use nexus as dependency manager.

4) Add Adobe maven repository to nexus and CQ Blueprints repository to nexus by following the URLs: http://www.cqblueprints.com/xwiki/bin/view/Blue+Prints/Connecting+to+the+CQ+Blueprints+Repository and http://www.cqblueprints.com/xwiki/bin/view/Blue+Prints/Connecting+to+the+Adobe+Maven+Repository

5) Once all is done, you can run one of the module project as directed in the documentation with Goal as “auto-deploy”
