Also, when you are done with your implementation, we can
add it to m2e
marketplace. If you are interested, of course. This way
installation of
your Eclipse plugin will be for all projects that use
jaxws, jaxb2 and
jibx maven plugins as part of m2e project import flow
and via code
assist on "not covered plugin execution" error markers.
Right now the plugin is mostly a stopgap for me, and
possibly my co-workers. I don't really have a lot of
insight into what I am supposed to do to make those Maven
plugins behave correctly in all cases.
For instance I can see the antlr m2e plugin checks for
file changes and add to the build process. I don't really
have any idea if I should be doing something like that. It
seems that since the plugins already does these things in
Maven, it would be a bit redundant do do it in m2e as
well?
In other words. I am not sure I want to be maintaining a
m2e plugin, in the near future, that deals with things I
don't really know a whole lot about. And that does not
further improve my own environment.
I could certainly release the plugin. But it would have a
great chance of ending up as a one of those half
implemented unsupported things I personally hate to have
to use ;)
