Re: [m2e-dev] eclipse-settings-maven-plugin future ?

[Hohwiller, Jörg <joerg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Casten,

nope. I was not aware of this plugin.
I am already installed it and am testing it.
Still I am a little confused how to use it as documentation is not that 
straight forward and I do not prefer to use OOMPH.
I used it for some time and then created devonfw-ide as OOMPH itself was 
way to complex to maintain for projects.

Cheers
  Jörg
