Gary VanMatre commented on SHALE-444:
-------------------------------------
I still have not be successful in creating a Maven build for this eclipse
plugin. I've been trying to use an alpha maven pde plugin [1]. This plugin
creates an ant build script and then launches eclipse in headless mode. The
eclipse IDE is still required. I've tried contacting the primary author but
the mail account is not active.
Another interesting twist is that Ryan's eclipse plugin has several
dependencies to libraries that can be found in maven repositories. It would be
nice if we could get maven to pull these down into a lib folder under the
plugin project. I was thinking that we could create our own mojo to pull the
projects compile dependencies and drop them in the lib folder.
The maven pde plugin is under an apache license so we could pull it in as a
base to start from. However, would it be worth the effort considering the IDE
is required to create a deployable plugin artifact?
At the very minimum, a mojo to fixup the project dependencies would be helpful.
Deploying for eclipse is only a couple clicks.
I feel we need to get this code in our repository but wanted to have a good
build. Any objections to committing to the sandbox so you maven mavens can
take a look?
