+echo Spring Framework Eclipse/STS project import guide
+echo.
+echo This script will guide you through the process of importing the
+echo Spring Framework sources into Eclipse/STS. It is recommended that you
+echo have a recent version of the SpringSource Tool Suite (this script has
+echo been tested against STS %STS_TEST_VERSION%), but at the minimum you will
+echo need Eclipse + AJDT.
+echo.
+echo If you need to download and install STS, please do that now by
+echo visiting http://springsource.org/downloads/sts
+echo.
+echo Otherwise, press enter and we'll begin.

+REM this command:
+REM - wipes out any existing Eclipse metadata
+REM - generates OXM test classes to avoid errors on import into Eclipse
+REM - generates metadata for all subprojects
+REM - skips metadata gen for the root project (-x :eclipse) to work
+REM   around Eclipse's inability to import hierarchical project structures
+REM SET COMMAND="./gradlew cleanEclipse :spring-oxm:compileTestJava eclipse -x :eclipse"
+SET COMMAND=gradlew cleanEclipse :spring-oxm:compileTestJava eclipse -x :eclipse

+echo STEP 1: Generate subproject Eclipse metadata
+echo. 
+echo The first step will be to generate Eclipse project metadata for each
+echo of the spring-* subprojects. This happens via the built-in
+echo "Gradle wrapper" script (./gradlew in this directory). If this is your
+echo first time using the Gradle wrapper, this step may take a few minutes
+echo while a Gradle distribution is downloaded for you.
+echo. 
+echo The command run will be:
+echo. 
+echo     %COMMAND%
+echo. 
+echo Press enter when ready.
+
+pause
+
+call %COMMAND%
+if not "%ERRORLEVEL%" == "0" exit /B %ERRORLEVEL%
+
+echo.
+echo -----------------------------------------------------------------------
+echo STEP 2: Import subprojects into Eclipse/STS
+echo.
+echo Within Eclipse/STS, do the following:
+echo. 
+echo File ^> Import... ^> Existing Projects into Workspace
+echo      ^> When prompted for the 'root directory', provide %CURRENT_DIR%
+echo      ^> Press enter. You will see the modules show up under "Projects"
+echo      ^> All projects should be selected/checked. Click Finish.
+echo      ^> When the project import is complete, you should have no errors.
+echo.
+echo When the above is complete, return here and press the enter key.
+
+pause
+
+set COMMAND=gradlew :eclipse
+
+echo.
+echo -----------------------------------------------------------------------
+echo STEP 3: generate root project Eclipse metadata
+echo. 
+echo Unfortunately, Eclipse does not allow for importing project
+echo hierarchies, so we had to skip root project metadata generation in the
+echo during step 1. In this step we simply generate root project metadata
+echo so you can import it in the next step.
+echo. 
+echo The command run will be:
+echo. 
+echo     %COMMAND%
+echo. 
+echo Press the enter key when ready.
+pause
+
+call %COMMAND%
+if not "%ERRORLEVEL%" == "0" exit /B %ERRORLEVEL%
+
+echo.
+echo -----------------------------------------------------------------------
+echo STEP 4: Import root project into Eclipse/STS
+echo. 
+echo Follow the project import steps listed in step 2 above to import the
+echo root project.
+echo. 
+echo Press enter when complete, and move on to the final step.
+
+pause
+
+echo.
+echo -----------------------------------------------------------------------
+echo STEP 5: Enable Git support for all projects
+echo. 
+echo - In the Eclipse/STS Package Explorer, select all spring* projects.
+echo - Right-click to open the context menu and select Team ^> Share Project...
+echo - In the Share Project dialog that appears, select Git and press Next
+echo - Check "Use or create repository in parent folder of project"
+echo - Click Finish
+echo. 
+echo When complete, you'll have Git support enabled for all projects.
+echo. 
+echo You're ready to code! Goodbye!
