Re: [m2e-dev] [m2e-users] m2e maven repository 
Each plugin is different and I don't believe there is one-size-fits-all
answer to your question.

If BuildContext provide sufficient integration for your plugin, then I'd
probably use that simply because it does not require any additional
eclipse bundle installation and is the easiest to use from the user
point of view.

If you need to integrate with existing "native" eclipse tooling then you
almost certainly want to write a project configurator.

In all other cases you probably have to write a project configurator,
but it is also possible we can improve BuildContext API such that you
don't need to.

Hi Igor,

Thanks for your response. I was using this page as a starting point to
understand the available options:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/M2E_plugin_execution_not_covered

It recommends implementing a project configurator and build participant
and deploying them as an eclipse plug-in as described here:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/M2E_Extension_Development

Is this option mainly intended to wrap existing maven-plugins and to
provide more extensive eclipse project configuration capabilities? (Btw.
It would be nice if the document had a section on how to provision these
m2e connectors, i.e. create repository, deploy to it, and make it
available to eclipse developers; at a minimum some pointers to the right
tycho docs would be useful.)

Are you suggesting that if I write my own plugin, I should instead
include the lifecycle mapping in my maven plugin and use the build
context API to add incremental behavior, as described here?

        I would like to make an existing in-house maven plug-in m2e
        compatible
        using these instructions:
        http://wiki.eclipse.org/M2E___compatible_maven_plugins
        <http://wiki.eclipse.org/M2E_compatible_maven_plugins>

        However, the plug-in is currently built as part of a
        conventional maven
        build which does not use Tycho. Is m2e (1.3.1) available in a maven
        repository somewhere so I can declare a standard maven
        dependency on it?

        Thanks,
        Ben
