Cf my last thread on m2e-dev.* http://www.developpez.net/forums/d1451852/environnements-developpement/eclipse/nouvelle-version-l-environnement-eclipse-disponible-eclipse-luna-apporte-support-natif-java-8-a/ announces release of Luna and turned into ab big troll about Maven support in Eclipse compared to NetBeans. This discussion succeeded to raise a few interesting points that have been reported to m2e. Basically, m2e doesn't and will never support every Maven Mojo. There will always be a gap between what people can do with Maven and what they can do with m2e. People developing plugins need to either do it in a top state-of-art way (using BuildContext) or write a m2e connectors. Most Maven plugin developers don't and won't do one nor the other so their plugin won't be supported by m2e and they'll hate Eclipse for that. The 2 suggested points were: * An alternative/additional background job running Maven build and reporting Maven issues that are not already reported by Incremental build. * https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=439676 But these discussions would rather take place one the m2e-dev mailing-list. |
