External Tools Settings [message #19099]

Folks,

I'm using a tool (maven) that creates a a file called externaltools.xml in
the following
directory:
ECLIPSE_HOME\eclipse\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclips e.ui.externaltoo
ls
The idea is to create a "tool" launcher thingy for each maven goal (think
ant target). Anyhow,
the maven plugin I'm using creates and installs this xml file just fine but
eclipse(2.1.0) will have
nothing to do with it.

So, does eclipse even allow a user to define external tool settings in an
exteranl file? Would you
say the maven plugin is hoarked?

EXAMPLE XML
============
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <externaltools>
- <tool>
<entry key="!{tool_refresh}">${project}</entry>
<entry key="!{tool_show_log}">true</entry>
<entry key="!{tool_loc}">c:\maven\bin\maven.bat</entry>
<entry key="!{tool_args}">-e -p ${resource_loc} hbm2java</entry>
<entry key="!{tool_block}">false</entry>
<entry
key="!{tool_type}">org.eclipse.ui.externaltools.type.program </entry>
<entry key="!{tool_dir}">${container_loc}</entry>
<entry key="!{tool_build_types}" />
<entry key="!{tool_name}">Maven hbm2java</entry>
</tool>
-</externaltools>

Generally the user is not supposed to go and start playing with the
..metadata :-)
This is not supported and the Maven plugin is making use of the External
tools format of 2.0.
This will not work in 2.1 as the format has changed. Looks like the Maven
plugin needs to be updated.
