| [m2e-users] Plugin Nature Questions |
Hi everyone-I am working with a many-module project using the maven-bundle-plugin to create OSGi-compatibile jar files. I've noticed a few odd things and have a couple questions:
1) Each of the projects has the plugin nature after I import it, what is adding this when imported with Maven? And is there some custom code that is connecting the maven-bundle-plugin to PDE? Because for example I can right click on the project -> Plug-in Tools -> Open Manifest and it will open when in fact there is no file in the source directory backing this.
2) There is a .launch file saved in one of the projects, however after a clean code checkout and initial import into Eclipse, when looking at the corresponding run configuration it is missing some of the projects in the workspace, like it does not recognize they are PDE projects. If I select all the workspace projects and right click -> Maven -> Update Project, after the rebuild the configuration will properly find all projects in the workspace. Doing this one by one works as well, and Project -> Clean does NOT work.
3) Each plug-in in the run configuration has a red X on the icon and is listed as "(out of sync)", I haven't found any way to resolve this, no quantity of refreshing, setting the workspace to auto refresh will resolve this. Is it related to the MANIFEST.MF being auto generated somehow?
Thanks! David
