[iam-dev] Re: Ability to convert eclipse java project to maven project

[Abel Muiño Vizcaino <amuino@xxxxxxxxx>]

To get the conversation started, I think there are some enhancements that would be welcome:

Usability/User Interface:

  - Use the wizard interface, to simplify the UI

  - Place the Convert to maven project option in the Maven menu

  - Some fields have rounded corners in the mac, which is used only for search/filter input boxes.

New features:

  - Provide assistance when replacing libraries with dependencies. Using the MD5 of the jar file to look it up on the indexes or in remote services in repositories like Archiva.

  - Provide autocompletion based on known groupIds (use existing indexes)

  - Relocate existing source folders to match maven conventions

Allan, can you please collect the list of enhancements and summarize the result of the conversations in a wiki page?

Support for converting java projects into maven projects (https://bugs.eclipse.org/253675) has been fixed by Allan.

This new feature needs to be documented (https://bugs.eclipse.org/254408) and maybe discussed on the list. I have the feeling that doing this properly is non trivial, so input from the developers and community would be useful.

btw... anybody knows what happened to the aardvark proposal at apache? (http://tinyurl.com/6fk3xn)
