[mng] StackOverflowError when starting Eclipse

Tuomas, please verify is you still have the same problem with the latest 0.9 build available from the new update site at http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/update/

If it still there, we would really need a test project that would allow us to reproduce this issue.

I'm actually using 0.9 (from sonatype) already. I have ~20 open projects currently on my workbench and some of them are deeply nested multimodule projects so it might take a while for me to pull out reproducible project.

I get the same error in a project using ServiceMix with deeply nested modules when importing as Maven Project.

I've found a reference to this kind of issue also on the Maven JIRA when trying to compile the smx3 trunk, and I've verified the same error happening checking out from SVN and importing the project as Maven Project like mine:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3391

Something similar has also been experienced by the q4e guys:
http://code.google.com/p/q4e/issues/detail?id=220

It seems to be a recursion problem originating from the Maven Embedder.
Unfortunately the error happens even changing in the preferences the Maven Runtime to an external 2.0.8 installation.

For the sake of completeness, I've also tried to import the Archiva SVN, which was quite nested as well, and everything worked there, I don't know if there is some connection between this error and the maven plugin used by servicemix to build the JBI artifacts using custom packaging types which leverages the dependency mechanism in a similar way to the ear packaging plugin.

Guys, I just pushed new build. New embedder should include fix for this issue, but I haven't got chance to test it with ServiceMix project yet.

I've got ServiceMix (3.2.1) dependencies as well on my workbench. I tried the plugin using PDE Tools>Build Site but the error remained. Although the Manage Configuration dialog points to the org.maven.ide.eclipse_0.9.1.200804011322 version (I guess) the old version of embedder is still somehow used even though -clean option was used. Is there a snapshot update site that I'm unaware of where prebuild versions could easily be fetched.

I noticed that there are POMs available, but I don't think they've been tested yet with CI since I found a works-on-my-machine anti-pattern from one of them when I tried to compile them.

Tuomas, sorry, I am not quite following your last comment. Does or does not ServiceMix project work with last m2eclipse release? Please don't mix several issues in this bug report.

Neither 0.9.0.20080310-1400-Sonatype nor 0.9.1.200803311600 work (latter I built today from the sonatype trunk with PDE Tools>Build Site). When servicemix references are removed the project my original workbench will not end up this error anymore.

A new project on a fresh workbench containing just the following dependency will recreate the problem.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.servicemix</groupId>
<artifactId>servicemix-jbi</artifactId>
<version>3.2.1</version>
</dependency>

What bothered me was that the stacktrace lines were identical with both versions of the plugin leading me to suspect whether or not I had managed to build the plugin correctly.
