Developers like a babies in sandbox. Imagination whip them build various sand castles from their code and they very concerned to protect it. Their code - this is their mind, who like when other break their mind, break their “Sand Castle”?

Ooh… I will put this doodad and this doodad here… wow what a Castle! Mommy, mommy, he step on it, he step on my Castle…

As for me difference in Small and Big team this is what their members know the best.

In a Small team everybody knows what he is responsible for, and he is doing this and more often even more then this. “Who else can do this if not me?”

In a Big team everybody knows what other responsible for. “I will not do this because this is not my responsibility.”

If you have more then 2 Boss over you, them you probably work not in a Small team otherwise enjoy your work, since during evolution Small team will inevitably grow to Big team with all inherent to it attributes - bureaucracy, politic games and stagnation.

I will describe a routine to configure Eclipse IDE to run and debug Documentum Webtop.
First of all you need to download and install some required software like JDK and Apache Tomcat. After that I suggest to perform standalone Webtop installation (or take already deployed webtop from the other location). This is necessary to install all required libraries and dmcl40.dll to the system. Also you need to download Eclipse with Web Tools. Latest release at this moment can be downloaded from here . Use all-in-one link there.

• Unpack content of the wtp-all-in-one-sdk-R-1.5.3-win32.zip somewhere, let’s say d:\java\eclipse.
• Don’t think that default memory config will fit your needs, so add more memory for Eclipse in D:\java\eclipse\eclipse.ini
• Run eclipse.exe and select path for workspace(D:\java\eclipse\workspace) - See Image
• Make sure that Eclipse point to JDK(not JRE) location(menu Window-Preferences) - See Image
• Configure Apache Tomcat Runtime(menu Window-Preferences) - See Image1 Image2 Image3
• Create new Web Project - See Image1 Image2
• Copy previously installed Webtop to D:\java\eclipse\workspace\webtop\WebContent
• Refresh project
• Change project output path - See Image
• Add all libraries from C:\Program Files\Documentum\Shared to Build Path - See Image
• Run project on the Apache Server (menu Run As-Run On Server) - See Image
• Configure Running classpath - See Image

• Add all libraries from C:\Program Files\Documentum\Shared
• Add C:\Documentum\config folder
  

Wow, seems that’s all. If you have some lucky it will work for you. You may start Webtop from Eclipse, or you even may debug your sources. Make sure you are using JDK and Tomcat which is mentioned in the Webtop Release Notes.
