RE: [wtp-dev] [ui-best-practices-working-group] WTP Facets Framework UI

[Abel Muiño <amuino@xxxxxxxxx>]

There are two maven integration projects being provisioned in the Eclipse
Incubator, IAM and M2E.

Both projects have support for "inferring" facets, but this is not done in
the absence of metadata... it's just that the metadata is available in maven
format.

I'm unsure at this time if WTP needs to do something here besides providing
a suitable API to configure the projects by 3rd party plug-ins (I'm thinking
about maven integration, but other use cases like inferring Eclipse/WTP
settings from IDEA/Netbeans metadata could be developed on top of it). Maybe
just having more visible documentation.

In any case, I think it is good for us (Maven Integration project) to keep
WTP posted on what we're doing and how we're using your framework.
