Hello, I'm trying to build Elasticsearch and get it to run in Eclipse. I'm following the directions in the CONFIGURATION.MD file.
This is my setup:
- macOS Mojave
- java 12.0.2 OpenJDK
- Eclipse Photon 4.9.0
- Elasticsearch 7.0.1 (but I've tried many versions)
I run ./gradlew eclipse to configure Eclipse which appears to be successful:
```
=======================================
Elasticsearch Build Hamster says Hello!
Gradle Version : 5.2.1
OS Info : Mac OS X 10.14.3 (x86_64)
JDK Version : 12 (Oracle Corporation 12.0.2 [OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 12.0.2+10])
JAVA_HOME : /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk- 12.0.2.jdk/Contents/Home
Random Testing Seed : C2C6A6F5157DEE54
=======================================
BUILD SUCCESSFUL in 7m 30s
2053 actionable tasks: 964 executed, 1089 up-to-date
```
Eclipse setup:
I configured eclipse.ini to use 2048m of heap:
-Xms256m
-Xmx2048m
Also I added -ea to Eclipse Default VM arguments
I added the project to Eclipse by: File -\> Import -\> General -\> Existing Projects Into Workspace. I included "Search for Nested Projects"
Eclipse reports 142 Errors in these packages:
- : example-plugins:security-authorization-engine
- almost all the :x-pack packages, such as : x-pack:docs, : x-pack:license-tools, etc.
The first 100 errors are about "A cycle was detected in the build path..." and then "The project cannot be built until build path errors are resolved"
Here is a sample error:
