Re: [m2e-users] Filtering plugin execution by execution id
|
Well, I'm not sure I fully understand your point. like for anyother plugin explicitely executed through the <execute/> tag, it is the developper responsibility to guarantee (through the use of the build-helper for instance) that the generated / updated sources are correctly handled by the Eclipse build. The only difference would be that the maven plugin would only be executed for certain maven execution id(s) and ignored for others. Of course the other configuration options remain, i.e. incremental build participation, version filter, ... However, I must admit that I'm not aware of the M2E internals and it might definitely be more complicated than one can think at first.
Best,

I can see why it may be desired to run general purpose plugins during
Eclipse build, but I don't see an easy way to implement that. Even if we
limit support to full workspace build only, m2e will still need to know
all files inside workspace created/update/deleted during plugin goal
execution, which likely means hard to maintain and error prone manual
configuration in each mapping.

Hi Igor,
Thank you for your detailed answer. Regarding the use-case, it may not
be relevant for plugins that are dedicated to very specific tasks but it
may be important for more general-purpose plugins. One real-life example
I have on one of our projects is the use of the exec plugin whose java
goal is triggered multiple times. One of this execution is needed for
code generation (later included by the build-helper) whereas the others
can be safely ignored to speed-up the eclipse build. antrun would be
another example of such general-purpose plugin that would benefit from
an execution id filtering.
Of course, I can hear the voice saying "just make a maven plugin out of
this legacy code"... But I still believe it would be a quick win for
M2E. May I still open an RFE ?
Thanks,
Vincent
