[m2e-users] dependencies to projects in the workspace
|
Hi,
With m2e 1.4.0.20130601 I observe that the "Maven Dependencies" container
of a
Java project with m2e nature will contain
* references to artifacts for
- projects that are not loaded in the workspace,
- projects that are loaded in the workspace and don't have m2e nature,
- third-party libraries.
* references to workspace projects for
- projects that are loaded in the workspace and have m2e nature.
The developer experience in Eclipse is much better when using references
to
workspace projects than with artifacts:
- After navigating to a class, the developer can directly edit its
source code.
Whereas an artifact's source code cannot be edited.
- When debugging, it provides a great productivity boost to be able to
edit
the source code on the fly, save it, and continue with the same
debugging
session.
- When not debugging, changes to the other project's source code are
taken
into account directly by Eclipse, when no artifacts are used. Whereas
with
artifacts, the developer needs to launch a Maven build and then a
Refresh
on the project that uses the artifact.
What I would like to have is that the "Maven Dependencies" container
contains
* references to artifacts for
- projects that are not loaded in the workspace,
- third-party libraries.
* references to workspace projects for
- projects that are loaded in the workspace and have m2e nature,
- projects that are loaded in the workspace and don't have m2e nature,
Is there a way to configure m2e to this effect?
If not, is it a bug or a design choice?
Best regards,
