Re: [m2e-users] m2e import project process
|
At very high level, during project import and configuration update m2e
executes logic specific to each of the maven plugins bound to project
build lifecycle. Wiki [1] provides some info and I'll be talking about
this in couple of weeks during eclipsecon eu [2].
Since you are asking about pde, you may be interested in m2e/tycho
integration you can install from preferences->maven->discovery. It
provides support for both tycho and maven-bundle-plugin projects and may
already do what you need.

Can someone explain a bit the process that takes place when one checks
out a maven project from SCM (which i imagine is just a checkout +
import existing maven project, but correct me if I'm wrong). RTFM are
accepted if there is a link to the FM, i couldn't find any documentation
on this aspect of m2e
At the beginning I thought it internally called eclipse:eclipse but then
i read that eclipse:eclipse was not "compatible" with m2e so now I don't
know how or who generates all the .project, .classpath and all the
eclipse specific files.
Ultimately what I am trying to accomplish is to have maven or m2e
generate an extra file/ org.eclipse.pde.core.prefs/ in .settings so
understanding the import process will help me know which plugin I need
to configure to generate this extra file
Thanks,
