How to import elastic search source code into eclipse

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
#1

Hi Team,

 Could you please let me know if there is any documentation available which details how to import elasticsearch source code into eclipse. Im trying to import elasticsearch2.2.1 into eclipse

I have downloaded the source code for elastic search from the link https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/tags.

When I try to import the project to eclipse, and when I point the downloaded source code, there are a lot of pom.xml available in the project. Im not sure which one to select and import. Any help on this is much appreciated.

It's a multimodule project.

So it basically depends on what you want to do.

For example, if you are working on a plugin, you just have to open the plugin. Maven will pull other modules from maven central repo.

Thanks for the information David. Im basically trying to check, how I can directly import json data into elastic search without using logstash etc. I also wanted to understand how elasticsearch stores the imported data and maintains it.

It would be great if you can provide a link/ documentation which details about the multiple modules used and how it works as a whole.

That's a huge task IMO.

I'd look at https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/index.html instead.

I don't. It's a maven thing. Not specifically related to elasticsearch.

I believe there is important documentation in contributing.asviidoc.
