[news.eclipse.technology.m2e] Re: Maven dependencies?

["klm" <ddd@xxxxxxx>]

Ok maybe I am missing the big picture here. In the PDE example an 
application is created that uses the following imports:

import org.eclipse.core.commands.AbstractHandler;
import org.eclipse.core.commands.ExecutionEvent;
import org.eclipse.core.commands.ExecutionException;
import org.eclipse.ui.IWorkbenchWindow;
import org.eclipse.ui.handlers.HandlerUtil;
import org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.MessageDialog;


To do this the following dependencies are defined in the MANIFEST.MF file:

 org.eclipse.ui (3.5.0)
 org.eclipse.core.runtime (3.5.0)

So basically as I understand it should just be a matter of defining those 
dependencies in the pom.xml file, end of story.

Why go to greater lengths than  this?
