Re: [m2e-dev] Eclipse Bug 403464

[Fred Bricon <fbricon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Bahram, 

indeed a remote search API is something we would very much like to have. I did start a POC a couple years ago[1][2] to call the search.maven.org REST API directly, but the main limitation I found at that point, was groupId search was basically useless, as it would return all results for a groupId instead of all groupId.

So ideally, Sonatype would need to fix their search API AND agree its service can be massively pounded by Eclipse so that we could rely on it.

Someone would also have to work on integrating with Sonatype/Nexus and JFrog/Artifactory

Hello,

I am in the Rational Application Developer team that we are using the Eclipse Idle and Maven m2e in our product. Recently some of our customers are complaining about the maven indexing using more then 3.5 GB workspace disk space if the user enabled "Download repository index updates on startup" check box in Window/Preferences/Maven. I did some investigation and I found out this is a known issue and I found the Bugzzila 403464 is already opened and has Closed Wonfix status. I saw comment #3 by Igor Fedorenko, how the m2e created and saves remote repository indexes for each workspace and his comment #6 that he mentioned in order to fix this issue, it requires significant effort and requires changes to multiple products developed by multiple organizations. I would like to start discussion with if m2e-dev mailing list how we can work and commit on this issue. I would like to know what effort requires to replace the current Maven m2e repository indexes design with a remote search API and do you see any value to redesign this current implementation.

If you are willing to provide us more information and how can we start looking on this issue, then I can take your information to my team. I am not familiar with the mavan m2e code and we need your expertises where we should look at the m2e code. We would also like to know if any other product code will effect with this changes. Thanks and I appreciate for your response.

Best Regards,
Bahram Sanaei
