[news.eclipse.technology.m2e] Re: m2e Resolve Workspace artifacts proble

[Igor Fedorenko <igor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I see two separate problems here.

MNGECLIPSE-1224 is not something we are not interested to solve, but 
rather something that cannot be solved from m2e. At least without 
killing any hope to get incremental build and in-situ debugging working 
properly in m2e. Mojos have to provide some support for IDE environment 
and I do not think there is a way around it. Also see 
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-187 that has a patch for specific 
exception you reported.

Debugging Tycho ITs from m2e is another problem. The reason you are not 
able to put breakpoints is because Tycho runs in a separate JVM during 
integration tests. I have some ideas how to solve this problem, but for 
now I just run Tycho from m2e and point it to the project from 
tycho-its/projects I want to debug.

I am usually on m2e irc channel (irc://irc.codehaus.org/m2eclipse) 
during regular working hours EDT. Feel free to ping me if you have 
questions.
