[cas-dev] CAS & WTP

[Robert Oschwald]

If you want to work with the svn code and turn that into a wtp project  
directly, you need to edit the .project file directly and add the  
natures you need.
Another possible way (thats how I do it  - even I'm using MyEclipse)  
is to build the cas jar artifacts and check that into a local maven2  
repo.
This way I can work in my own project and use the cas svn jar  
artifacts (the version is x.x.x-SNAPSHOT by default in the cas poms).
Don't forget to copy the non-java files (resource bundles, jsps etc)  
to you project.
