[m2e-dev] Classifiers and workspace resolution during maven launch

[László Váradi <laszlo.varadi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Igor, hi all

I just wonder if m2e would support this (resolve "classified" workspace dependencies during maven launch) with a new extension point definition.

An extension point may got IMavenProjectFacade, and would return a list of classifiers and locations, and WorkspaceStateWriter could use this list to generate the workspace state properties file. The special "tests" classifier could be handled also by such a class.

In our case, the project has multiple jar plugin executions, with different classifiers. The different executions just differs from different include and exclude patterns.

So we could create our extension point to handle this configuration. Maybe somebody could write an extension point for ejb plugin, which would support the generateClient attribute, to setup the ejb-client classifier for that project, etc...

If this is acceptable, then I would be happy to provide a patch.

Best regards,
