We have been working with Lukáš Křečan on an XML editor for Maven POM
for m2eclipse. The editor is integrated with Nexus indexer search engine
and provides completion on Maven artifacts and customizable
context-sensitive templates. It will be included in the next 0.9.4 dev
build, which will be available this week.
This is just beginning and if you want to help us to improve it and
implement additional features, here is few ideas that you could work on:
- completion of plugin configuration elements (it should be easy enough
to access plugin metadata)
- completion in excludes element should take into account actual
transitive dependencies for given artifact (I am still not sure if we
should include this information into index, or directly use results of
the maven project resolution, similar to dependency tree tab)
- outline view should be Maven-aware, e.g. instead of separate groupId,
artifactId, version elements, it should show logical node like
"org.apache.maven : maven-core : 2.0.8" and so on.
- quick outline view (Ctrl-O) showing same logical structure as Outline
view for quick navigation in pom.xml
- hyperlink-like navigation (ctrl-click) from any groupId:artifactId:etc
elements to the declaring pom (editor popup menu for opening pom, open
project site, issue tracker, source control, ci system would be also handy)
Please let us know if you want to work on any of those.
regards,
Eugene
