I have been searching for this now for several days and have found nothing, so I thought I would ask here. Is there a maven2 plugin that supports building of Eclipse plugins, features, and update sites? Right now we have several Eclipse plugins that are built into ZIP files that can be unzipped into an Eclipse plugins directory. However, there are several problems with this:
1. There's no support for updating the plugin.xml with the version information of the plugin's jar. 2. There's no support for putting the maven pom.xml dependencies (direct or transitive) into the plugin.xml. 3. There's no support for building an Eclipse feature that includes those plugins. 4. There's no support for building an Eclipse update site from the feature or for that matter deploying to an update site. Right now we have some hackery to at least get to the ZIP file, but unless there is something already existing, I see a bunch of long nights ahead while I write my own stuff. The requirement is that we can have an update site automatically built/updated by our build system. So, is there anything that I can use here? Even if there is an open source project that goes only part of the way, it would possibly give me a head start. Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can give me.
