Re: [m2e-dev] eclipse-settings-maven-plugin future ?
|
Hi Simon,
yes, an easy solution for this is lacking. What I always loved about
maven-eclipse-plugin was the easy way to configure any custom eclipse
settings.
However, I have switched to m2e already 15 years ago. I could never
understand why it is so hard for m2e to adopt this feature natively and
why things have to be so complicated. E.g. if you want your project to
use checkstyle, it would be nice if checkstyle would be activated by m2e
automatically when the project is imported.
I gave up with features like this in m2e already 10 years ago as I was
told to write an eclipse plugin that integrates eclipse, m2e and
eclipse-cs altogether. Quite some effort for ticking a checkbox what can
also be archived with 1 line in a config file.
You might like devonfw-ide [1] that does not exactly solve your problem
but can cure a lot of pain-points regarding automated project configuration.

Hi,
I currently use |maven-eclipse-plugin| for 2 purposes [1]:
1. transform maven project in eclipse one.
2. configure eclipse setting per projects. [2]
But |maven-eclipse-plugin| is obsolete now as m2e is the right way to
do. So I search a replacement for 2.
I find an alternative which is |eclipse-settings-maven-plugin| but
the project is maybe dying.[3]
It seems there is some active fork[4] but no clear situation.
My question ?
1. is my use case very very unusual ? if no is there a better way to
do that ?
2. if there is no better way, should we find a new home for this
useful project ? For a project about "eclipse" and "maven" I think that
maybe m2e could be a good place ? (this seems to be a very tiny project)
Just an idea.
Simon
