I didn't see any changes here for month, is the project still alive? It was much more vital while it was still hosted at google code.

What about the proposed collaboration with m2e?

There has been new features in the last month, improving WAR overlays
and EAR support. The project is quite stable right now.

m2e hasn't moved to Eclipse yet, that was something we were hoping for
to go through the IP process together and join forces.

is there any particular feature or bug that you need?

the most annoying things are:

- "Enabling/Disabling 1 maven 2 project" takes forever (more than 10 minutes!) and has no progress bar
- first IAM build of a newly checked out project always fails when dependencies are missing (have to build at command line at first to fetch the dependencies)
- "Updating classpath container" of a project takes forever (more than 10 minutes!) and has no progress bar

One more very important thing I forgot to mention:

- IAM and M2E should use the same classpathentry, now for IAM it is <classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.iam.jdt.core.mavenClasspathContainer"> while M2E uses <classpathentry kind="con" path="org.maven.ide.eclipse.MAVEN2_CLASSPATH_
CONTAINER"/>

This is very annoying since in our company some developers use IAM others use M2E. So now the .classpath files of the projects here bear eater the IAM or the M2E classpathentry, depending on who started the project. Having installed both plug ins is also not an solution since some projects even have both classpathentries in their .classpath. In this case both plugins start to fight each other (I always remove the M2E classpathentry then but others who don't know Eclipse that well have their hard time).

So please get your act together (IAM and M2E) and to come to an agreement on a common classpathentry for both of your plug ins!

that's actually done on purpose, because you may have both plugins
installed and Eclipse would go nuts if they use the same classpath entry.
A good practice is not to check in the .classpath and .project as they
are automatically generated by the both plugins at import time.

you can open the Maven Events view and will display all the events, and
you should see what is taking the time, but the progress bar should be
working too, I don't know if there's a special case where we have a bug.

The download of dependencies definitely works, maybe you have checked
"work offline" in the Maven Preferences?

There are quite some bugs waiting to be fixed, but only two of them are assigned:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?query_format=advan ced;bug_status=UNCONFIRMED;bug_status=NEW;bug_status=ASSIGNE D;bug_status=REOPENED;product=IAM

Why don't you work on those?

it's a matter of priorities and available time. Many minor/enhancement
requests and nothing really critical, workarounds available.
There are other things that committers believe are more important and
are harder for users to try to fix and that can take precedence too
(such as implementing WAR overlay support)

If users submit patches they get applied pretty fast.
