Re: [m2e-users] Custom Maven Plugin and M2E.

It is certainly possible to run custom maven plugins during eclipse
workspace.

According to the wiki page you reference, m2e-compatible plugins must
use BuildContext API and must include
META-INF/m2e/lifecycle-mapping-metadata.xml. Your plugin does not appear
to do either.

Hello, everybody.

I've been trying my hand at writing simple plugins for Maven and so far
haven't had any problem running them on the mvn command line. When
trying to use these same plugins on eclipse (Luna, under m2e) I've been
completely lost. I tried following instructions on[1] to no avail.

In the end I decided to try asking for help here -- and I hope it's the
right place. First, I need to know if it is at all possible to have a
custom plugin be ran by m2e when the eclipse auto-build feature kicks
in, or while publishing a project to a development server (under
Eclipse's "Servers" view). If any of these are possible, I'd really
appreciate some help in figuring out how to make it happen.

I've set up two minimal projects which are, respectively, a simple
timestamp-file generating maven plugin[2] and a dummy project which
declares this plugin on its pom[3] on github, which we can use as a
common ground on discussing this if discussion is warranted. I use those
on the command line and everything's fine.

Thanks,
Alexandre Moreira
