Re: [m2e-users] Having a Bad Week - eclipse sick
|
FWIW - My team suffered with m2eclipse + maven projects. After I had
them make a few changes, things seem workable and stable. I've
invested some time getting them setup properly. The following might
help:
- Use the latest HotSpot JVM while running eclipse. I've tried
JRockit and, for whatever reason, this makes M2Eclipse unusable under
Windows (Linux runs fine). It predictably hangs while updating
indexes. I can reproduce this at will.
- Install and external maven runtime and point to it. The embedded
one seemed to work okay, but freaks out in some instances. I haven't
figured out the pattern here.
- Ensure that you give the jvm enough memory.
- If you are going things like process resources, make sure that you
set this goal to run during the import process. You can always go
back and update project configuration, but its easy enough to get this
done while the project imports.
It is a shame that eclipse doesn't have native maven support... Then
again there is always mvn eclipse:eclipse :)
Thanks,
Alejandro
