Re: [m2e-users] Support for Custom Maven Packaging Types

[Nils Liebelt <nils.liebelt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Anton,

you are right. I should have been more specific. M2e-wtp is actually causing the trouble in our scenario. Its been a while since I last visited our eclipse integration..

Our current approach is actually to delegate into m2e-wtp configuration code in the right places to treat our artifacts (project) as "normal" wtp war projects. In order to get the wtp integration working, we are running a  custom eclipse plugin that uses a reflection hack todo so. This works to a certain extend but there are other places within m2e-wtp that will prevent our project from a proper configuration on project import.

So I am interested on the status on m2e-wtp 2.0 and the support for custom war packaging types .

Currently for us it basically boils down to two options:

* Drop support for our custom war packaging types

* Drop support for eclipse m2e-wtp

None of the them are really great, so I am wondering about any alternatives.

Cheers,

Nils

Hi,

M2e does support custom packaging types without problems as long as the plugins used in those packaging types' lifecycles are themselves supported (either by m2e out of the box or through connectors [1]).

In fact, m2e does not even look at the pom's <packaging> value, but instead delegates execution plan calculcation to maven itself and uses the result to configure eclipse project.

From what I understand, the bugzilla entry you refer to is related to how m2e-wtp handles packaging types wrt configuring web projects. Fred should have more info on that.

Hi all,

I am just wondering if there are plans, a prototype or a even time schedule for the support of custom packaging types by now? As far as I know the support was planned for m2e 2.0 release.

But the corresponding ticket is last modified almost a year ago: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=412213

Can somebody hint me to a workaround or better options?

Regards,

Nils
