[m2e-users] M2E plugin : please convince me

2012-10-04 Thread Jean Seurin
I've been using maven for a quiet long time now, and I'm still at a loss when trying to understand the philosophy behind M2E. In my view, Maven config defines the project, the IDE reads it, and that's it. Not the other way around: having errors like "M2E plugin execution not covered" just doesn't

The simple answer, IMHO, is that you want incremental build support. That's what m2e tries to give you. As Maven and its plugins doesn't support that, m2e can't delegate it. Forcing a Maven build (even if it would just be part of the full lifecycle) would give you a very slow Eclipse environment. T

I'm surprised doing an easy `mvn install` on each every component manually is not considered 'incremental build' by the community … :) ok, just joking thanks for that brief and enlightening comment. I get it now, and I think M2E is worth a new configuration attempt to get that legendary 'increme

Hi, it seems that the new discovery catalog for m2e 1.2 try to contact the service http://repository.tesla.io:8081/nexus/ Port 8081 it's not very "corporate friendly" because usually network firewall permits only traffic on port 80 or 443 and for this reason I cannot install any connector...

M2e 1.2 now supports placing your lifecycle mapping metadata in a global location so that it doesn't need to pollute individual project poms. This at least addresses one of your original concerns. To do this, there is now a second quickfix in your pom editor to handle lifecycle mapping metadata m

Looking at the non test version it appears to not use 8081 for the main discovery downloads: http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/discovery/directory-1.1.xml However, many of the individual components are still hosted at http://repository.tesla.io:8081/nexus/ which makes those components di

Is it also fair to say that m2e is the bridge between a Maven project (POM) and the Eclipse project settings? Since Eclipse doesn't have native support for Maven, m2e converts the POM to an Eclipse project and then attempts to keep them synchronized through the build/test/deploy/debug lifecycle vi

Well, synchronized suggests a two way process. This is not what m2e does, it cannot update your pom based on changes you make in the project properties in eclipse. On Thu, Oct 4, 2012 at 6:09 PM, Jeff wrote: > Is it also fair to say that m2e is the bridge between a Maven project > (POM) and the

One thing at a time. I've been focused on getting the infrastructure up. I will eventually sync the connectors to central and then there won't be any problems. I have other services running on port 80 internally on that machine so it's not easy for me to flip it right now. I'll switch it as soon
