Re: [ide-dev] Highlights for 2021-12 landing page

Hello Lakshmi, all,

Compared to 2021-12, Maven support has received tons of improvements: https://github.com/eclipse-m2e/m2e-core/blob/master/RELEASE_NOTES.md including some better support for JPMS. It can be worth a note

* Improved Maven support: Easier navigation to project from Maven logs, better support for JPMS, improved performance and editor capabilities.

Also, and interesting topic that can show the vitality/simplification of plugin development and thus of the community & project that can be worth highlighting, although plugin developers are the main audience of the page, is all the ongoing work to better integrate PDE/Tycho/Maven:

* Consume Maven artifacts as Eclipse plugins: You can now more efficiently use Maven artifacts while developing Eclipse plugins. PDE's Target Platform and its editor can now directly include Maven artifacts as dependencies just by referencing their GAV.
