[news.eclipse.technology.iam] Re: Checkstyle support in iam

[amuino@xxxxxxxxx (Abel Muiño)]

Helo Nicolas,

I am not sure what 
org.maven.ide.eclipse.project.configurator.AbstractProjectConfigurator 
accomplishes, so I will briefily point to the extension points available.

Please contact us again for further details. I am also interested in your 
feedback regarding how reusable your existing code is, and what could be 
improved to allow plugins to work in both Maven plugins more easily.

The extension points are:
- org.eclipse.iam.builder.natureDelegate : allows to do some processing 
when the maven nature is enabled/disabled
- org.eclipse.iam.builder.builderDelegate : allows to do some processing 
during the incremental builds. It provides a diff object which allows 
reacting to pom changes
- project.configurationParticipants : invoked when a project is configured 
for IAM. It allows to use enablement expressions so you do not need to 
inspect the pom.xml in your code

I hope that serves as a starting point!
