I have been waiting for a "promising" eclipse maven integration. I have
been playing with netbeans alot recently because of their maven support,
but I really like eclipse and use it the majority of the time.
This seems like the most promising maven eclipse integration project and
I would love to see it succeed and provide a high quality integration
with eclipse. How would an ambitious developer (like myself :) ) go
about poking in the code, testing, submitting defects and actually get
my voice heard?
I guess the real question is if I grab the source code and start poking
around is there an avenue where I can submit fixes and/or a list of
things that need testing, etc...?
Hopefully I am making sense :).
Cheers,
Donnie

Eugene,
If I am not mistaken I think you are the main developer for the m2eclipse
project. For the most part I was very pleased with the m2eclipse plugin
for resovling dependencies and setting up my maven projects in eclipse. My
"most promising" comment had more to do with the endorsement by the
Eclipse Foundation rather than what plugin is better than the other. I am
thinking since Eclipse is considering IAM as an Eclipse Project it might
become a more polished product the quickest. I do not know if those are
the correct assumptions to make.
I have used the m2eclipse plugin, but after using the maven plugin for
NetBeans I almost switched environments. One of the main things that I
thought the m2eclipse plugin was missing was support for web projects.
Another, feature that I was missing was the ability to run unit test with
the resources defined in my test folder (i.e. test/resouces/db.properties)
through the eclipse junit mechanism. Since the classpath entry had the
main/resources/db.properties it would not read my test stuff. Little
things like that. Lastly, it seemed like the development cycle dragged a
bit. I know open source projects (are on a voluntary basis for the most
part) so some lagging can be expected, but it seemed a little long IMO.
All I really want is a good maven eclipse integration. I don't have any
preference as long as it works. I finally have some free time that I
could spend here and there with an open source project. I have never
really been involved with one, but I am looking to start.
Hopefully I cleared some stuff up. If any of the issues I stated are on
your roadmap I am more than willing to see if I can be of assistance. :)
Thanks,
Donnie

I'm a m2eclipse user, and those are my main complaints about it too. I'm
almost giving up on using Maven for Eclipse projects because of these.

I have to agree here. There was a huge void between 0.10 and 0.11. IMHO,
more frequent releases (even if they have fewer improvements or
features) is better.
Just my R$ 0,02 :-)
