Re: [m2e-users] Any alternative to plugin connectors under development?

Lifecycle mapping approach implemented in m2e 0.12 and early is not
coming back, unless somebody comes up with a workable approach to make
it work. This has not happened so far.

There is tentative plan for m2e 1.1 to let maven plugin developers to
provide build lifecycle mapping metadata [1].

I was winding up a multi-month evaluation of Maven when Indigo came out.
I was on the fence about adopting Maven; Indigo pushed me off the fence
– to giving up on Maven.

Even in my limited usage, I had to write two one-page Maven plugins that
deal with code/resource generation, and use another
(freemarkerpp-maven-plugin) that appears to be inactive. I have zero
experience with writing Eclipse plugins.

Is there any progress toward a simpler alternative mechanism for
connectors, or simply allowing opt-out for Helios-style behavior?

If not, I’ll just write up my Maven (non)recommendation and be done with
it.

I’ve been delaying in hopes that m2eclipse community pressure would lead
to a change in direction.

Thanks,
