That's pretty much my experience too: Eclipse + Maven + m2e (the new name of m2eclipse) + Jetty. Regarding how to launch Jetty, I end up using two different approaches: in work projects, due to the way they were setup, I use jetty:run (Maven). In my personal projects, I add Jetty as a test dependency and create a class in the test sources to launch Jetty via Java code (you can find it in the mailing list archives). This approach has the advantage of making debugging code in JARs with sources work, while Eclipse, when running through jetty:run, never finds the source, even when it's found through Control-Shift-T.

By the way, Eclipse 3.7, even in the smallest Java edition (which I recommend), packs m2e and it's been working very, very well.

I plan to learn Gradle for working on Tapestry sources but I'll continue using Maven for my own projects.

I/we use mostly maven and Eclipse with m2eclipse. Since the 0.9.9
version of m2eclipse from almost two years ago I've never had an issue
with it. m2eclipse keeps project configuration in sync with Maven so I
don't have to maintain multiple environments. I've tried out the
existing Tapestry integrations for Eclipse and haven't found any of
them to be good or stable enough so far, so I agree improvements on
that front would be great.

I was wondering if folks would be willing to share how in general their
tapestry projects are set up in terms of build setup and IDE usage ? With T5 it seems that most tutorials point to starting up w/ a Maven project and
going from there. After you initially set up your project - did you keep
going w/ the maven set up (using a Maven based project from an IDE), or do
you convert it to an IDE specific project (e.g. generate an eclipse
project) and continue using it that way . Now that T5 has moved to gradle as the build system - did you move your own projects to gradle (obviously
you don't have to but still it's interesting to know).

The reason I ask is that I'm really curious of what it would take to have a really kick-ass IDE support for Tapestry. IntelliJ already has some support
for T5, so do Eclipse and NetBeans ; however, it is my impression that
neither hits the nail on the head.

I was thinking of creating a survey for this (which I might do if more than a couple of people respond ). If nothing else the results of such a survey
could be interesting to have in the community.
