Re: [m2e-users] state of hide folders of physically nested modules
|
There are no plans to improve how m2e handles nested projects. We are
hitting fundamental limitations of current eclipse workspace model (i.e.
flat list of projects) and there is simply no good way to support nested
project structures unless proper support is introduced at eclipse
platform level.

Hello,
I was trying to see if anyone knew the current state of "hide folders of
physically nested modules" (HFOPNM) or where the issue is capturing
future enhancements for it. I am running m2e 1.0 in Eclipse 3.7 and I
have the HFOPNM checked.
I let's say I have a multi-module project checked out and I import these
using Import -> Maven Projects in eclipse
-- parent
------ child-a
------ child-b
In eclipse I (as expected after importing) see the following:
-- child-a
-- child-b
-- parent
------ child-a
------ child-b
If I (1) use ctrl+shirt+T to open a class then I only get one entry
(again as expected regardless of the HFOPNM setting since the nested
folders aren't Java projects to eclipse). So that's good. However (2)
if I use ctrl+H to search in the workspace then I get duplicate hits one
in the top-level project for the child and one in the nested folder.
Also (3) ctrl+shift+R shows duplicate entries: one in the child project
and one in the folder under fuzzy-project. Also, (4) Team
synchronization is also duplicated.
These are four areas that come to mind that I have noticed that
multi-module projects cause some dissonance. I realize this must be
difficult (especially team sync as I expect that to be handled by the
SCM plugin).
So a few questions:
1- what is the expected behavior of HFOPNM? And is that an issue
somewhere? I found a JIRA issue from sonatype that seemed relevant but
there was no info on it.
2- It indicates that its "experimental" does that mean that there are
future enhancements to make it complete? Or no one is sure if it works?
3- Are there any plans to improve this? Is there an issue somewhere to
capture thoughts/requirements?
Thanks!
Steve
