Description

There is two major pieces of functionality in Meven IDE:

– Managing dependency (including repository search/browse) and maven runner.
– POM editors and validators.

Second one is almost 100% overlap with XSD-aware XML editor (such as XMLBuddy or Eclipse WTP), so it would be neat to have Mevenide for Eclipse packaged as two separate features, so uder may choose to not install POM editors. Eclipse update manager allows to express such dependencies and even force to install required features. See for example update site for BytecodeOutline plugin at http://download.forge.objectweb.org/eclipse-update/

Please let me know if you need help with build or update site configuration for such packaging.

By the way, that pom synchronizer can be completely eliminated if we'll have support of classpath container based on maven's pom. Take a look how it is implemented in ivy plugin at http://eclipse.oneill.id.au/updates/

just tried to mount the simplest ivy-enabled project to exercise the plugin.. and indeed it's a nice one.. a few month ago faron suggested to drop the synchronizer as it exists now in favor of containers.. this certainly makes sense but it also implies a strong assumption : pom is the referent.. what if this is not true ? (and it certainly isn't always true)

If pom will drive not only dependencies, but also sources (I'm not sure if it is actually possible in Eclipse model) there will be no issue to use pom as a reference. It will also guarantee that it is "always in sync" as there is nothing to sync to.

However it will require Maven nature to be registered in Eclipse project.

I've implemented some prototype. But can't figure how to manage source folders or maybe IClasspathContainer doesn't currently support that. Anyway, I filled a bug for this. Please vote for it. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=100508
