Not sure JBDS is to blame for that 

https://github.com/Governance/rtgov/blob/master/samples/jbossas/pom.xml#L186

The reference to 1.5 Java is in the pom:

                        <!-- Specify the compiler options and settings -->
                        <plugin>
                                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                                <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
                                <configuration>
                                        <source>1.5</source>
                                        <target>1.5</target>
                                        <showDeprecation>false</showDeprecation>
                                        <showWarnings>false</showWarnings>
                                </configuration>
                        </plugin>

Changing the reference in the pom.xml file from Java 1.5 to Java 1.7 resolves the initial error - but then presents an error of:

JavaServer Faces 2.0 requires Dynamic Web Module 2.5 or newer.

See attached screenshot - setting the facet version to 2.5 results in an error of:

Cannot change version of project facet Dynamic Web Module to 2.5

Somehow or other I got past the dynamic web module error (I think by building it outside of JBDS). I then ran into an error stating that it was missing the @ApplicationPath annotation - disabling the JAX-RS validator or setting that particular activator to a Warning resolved this.  

Suggest either documenting the change to JAX-RS or updating the RTGov sample.

perhaps this should be in another BZ.

samples-jbossas-sla-report also includes an error that it is missing persistence.xml

That can be changed to a warning in Preferences/Java Persistence/JPA/Errors / Warnings

This should be doc'd or fixed in the quickstart

Reference to JDK 1.5 has been removed.

The persistence.xml file does exist in src/test/resources/META-INF. To overcome this error, it is necessary to add this location as a 'source folder' and then select the 'Maven->Update Project...' on the 'samples-jbossas-sla-report' project.

Unclear why the JavaServer Faces errors occur on the 'samples-jbossas-sla-monitor' project - but if you do 'Maven->Update Project...' on that project (sometimes it has to be done twice) then the errors go - so think this is an Eclipse/maven issue.


Also note: if using the maven Eclipse plugin (e.g. mvn eclipse:eclipse) the Eclipse projects can be imported (as a general project) without any issues.

So apart from the JDK 1.5 fix, the other errors will require docs. How do I mark this BZ to ensure this happens?

Gary Brown <gary> updated the status of jira RTGOV-314 to Resolved

Doc changes required when describing importing rtgov quickstarts into JBDS-IS:

The "samples-jbossas-sla-report" complains about a missing persistence.xml file. This file exists within the project, but is not directly within the classpath, so to fix this issue you will need to add the folder "src/test/resources/META-INF" as a source folder, and then select the "Maven->Update Project..." menu item on the "samples-jbossas-sla-report" project.

If JavaServer Faces errors appear associated with the "samples-jbossas-sla-monitor" project, then select the "Maven->Update Project..." menu item on the project. This may need to be performed twice, if the errors do not disappear after performing the action once.

Made additional change, based on a workaround link found by Alan, so the JavaServer Faces errors no longer appear - so only docs required for the first (para) issue related to missing persistence.xml.

Verified with FSW 6.0.0.ER7 + JBDS-IS 7.0.0.CR1. 

Note that there is another error after importing RTGov quickstarts into JBDS, reported as new bug at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1043447
