Re: [m2e-dev] [m2e-wtp-dev] m2e-wtp API status

Hi
Where can I find the source code for m2e, m2e connector and m2e-wtp?
Thanks,
Shalini

Hi,
for various (good and bad) reasons, m2eclipse-wtp development in the past has not be ... perfect.
It means that, in terms of code, javadoc, <whatever>, quality, we're far from approaching the level of mature Eclipse projects.
Well, it's not complete crap either, or we wouldn't have (hundred of?) thousands users happily hacking their javaee apps with it.
Anyway, after reading
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_Quality I feel that, given we're about to release a new m2e-wtp Milestone, I can't commit to
providing stable APIs for 3rd party adopters to build upon. That means I'm seriously thinking about taking some drastic measures :
move *all* code from public to *.internal.* packages, until we can determine what would make sense to provide good API for client consumption.
Currently, the only classes that I believe could be made publicly available are :
org.eclipse.m2e.wtp.overlay.modulecore.IOverlayVirtualComponent : virtual component used to mimic Maven's war overlays
org.eclipse.m2e.wtp.overlay.modulecore.OverlayComponentCore : overlay component factory
So, if you're an adopter and use or plan to use m2e-wtp's API, it's time to speak up and make your demands.
We can and will discuss the matter on today's call.
Regards,
Fred Bricon
