At the moment there is not enough information if you want to jump start with OEPE (and of course using FastSwap) and Maven2 (using M2Eclipse plugin). This HOW-TO shows you how to achieve this. You need to have Eclipse (3.4 or 3.5), WLS (10.3 or 11) OEPE, Maven2 and M2Eclipse installed correctly before you can follow the steps below: 1. Create a web application with the webapp wizard (dynamic web project). Choose a webapp based on WLS (10.3 in my case). Please change following settings afterwards to be Maven complianced: Source for web: src/main/webapp Source for Java: src/main/java 2. Turn on Maven project on the project above ("mavenized the project") with M2Eclipse. 3. After you mavenized the project you can delete the directory build/classes since Maven uses target/classes directory. Everything should be customized to Maven directory structure automatically. 4. You can add src/test/java - if you need it src/test/resources - and also src/main/resources ...

In my new project - as usual in a software project - we have a very tight schedule. Using our old JEE application architecture (Oracle 10g, EJB 2.x, JFormular, Ant with Maven2 dependencies, full deployment EAR, WAR and EJB JAR on Weblogic 10.3 with Java6) would mean that we will have a long turn-around time (code, compile, deploy and test) for our development. Our build process with Ant does not support "naked" deployment", so it takes ages before the artefacts are built, jarred and can be deployed in Weblogic. In case that you only change one small thing in your web layer (JSP file, Java class) you will need to go through all those build steps. In combination that at that time I had an old development hardware (3 years old) you can imagine how horrible the situation was... So I was searching for a better solution. We need a fast turn around time, especially in our web layer because I'm not an expert in JFormular and I definitely need to "try and error". ...

If you are working with Oracle Weblogic console 10.3.x.x and you are using Chrome 2.0.x.x you won't be able to see the "advanced tabs" on the bottom of every pages of the console. In some pages of the Weblogic console you can see at the bottom an "advanced tab" which can be opened by clicking on it. The tab will open smoothly in Firefox. Only in Chrome you won't see this tab, as if it were not existing at all. Just take a look at the two screenshots below (comparison between Firefox and Chrome 2.0.x.x for the same page). Chrome 2.0.x.x - no "Advanced" tab: Firefox 3 - with "Advanced" tab: So be careful and use Firefox for Oracle Weblogic 10.3.x.x console... Cheers!
