Title: M2Eclipse 1.0: HowTo Dependency Plugin for generate-sources

Hi all,

we hav a dependency on dojo and use the dependency-plugin:unpack in phase generate-sources.

After upgrading to M2Eclipse 1.0 we have the problem that there is no built-in-support for that.

My question now is: what is the preferred/best-way for plugins which are bound to the generare-sources-phase.

I could add a lifecycle-mapping via org.eclipse.m2e:lifecycle-mapping but there I woould have to define the "unpack"-goal to execute.

If I would do this in a parent pom I see the danger of executing this goal in situations where it should not be…

Here is the part from our pom:

      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <id>unpack dojo</id>
            <phase>generate-sources</phase>
            <goals>
              <goal>unpack</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
              <artifactItems>
                <artifactItem>
                  <groupId>org.dojotoolkit</groupId>
                  <artifactId>dojo</artifactId>
                  <version>1.4.2</version>
                  <type>zip</type>
                </artifactItem>
              </artifactItems>
              <outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/dojo</outputDirectory>
            </configuration>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>

Thanks!

Regards

Michael
