Maven2 For Eclipse / News: Recent posts

After several test, i add the capability to solve a dependency with an open eclipse project, if the project is a Maven Project and have in its pom file the good groupId, ArtifactId and version.

Correct bugs (essentially one bug, in precedent version i have differences in order of resolution than Maven2 Ant Tasks 2.0.7)

Correct Menu

After 2 weeks of use the last version, i correct all (minors) bugs than i found on it.
With this version, i have the time to continue developpement of this plugin, with no worries.

The next version will implement include project. The habilities to include eclipse project instead of project find in Maven repository. It's very usefull when we develop 2 or more components in the same workspace with dependencies between this.

The first version of this plugin has been released.
This version works fine for simple project (ie actually i can't include others project in the resolving classpath container).
So this plugin solve :
- Dependency tree based on Maven 2.0.7
- Can download Source and javadoc
- Can download lucene index from anything url

And correct some bugs in M2Eclipse 0.0.11
- Correctly manage parent pom, and snapshot (uniqueversion or not)
- Have no trouble with multi thread eclipse resolution and its local repository
- And some others minors bugs

The goals of this project isn't to take place of official Maven Plugin like M2Eclipse and Q4E, but just to solve the immediate problem to have a functionnal eclipse plugin now.

M2Eclipse and Q4E are based on maven-embedder 2.1-SNAPSHOT. And this embedder have not the same denpendencies resolution as Maven 2.0.7.

In my work, I need a Maven Eclipse plugin wich work fine with Maven 2.0.x (at this moment 2.0.7), so i rewrite M2Eclipse, simplified it, based it on Maven 2.0.7 (correct some bugs). And publish this temporary plugin.... read more
