 lol.

 Well what black magic is intellij doing that makes using maven better?


In fact my disagreement with eclipse is over than only its Maven integration
I didn't use it now for more than one year thus I cannot tell how it is
going now but my impediment was to have to choose between
* m2eclipse which supported a little subset of eclipse features (WTP
integration didn't work well before JBoss start to investigate on it, ...),
which was slow/unusable for large projects but which provided for what it
supported a good developer experience.
* maven-eclipse-plugin that had a larger set of feature but that was broken
in many points like the dependency management and its inability to import
parent/aggregators POMs.

Nowadays I'm using IntelliJ which has a transparent integration (I just
open a Maven project) and supports large projects. I don't use anymore a
JEE integration thus I don't know if it is better or worst than eclipse
with WTP.


 There is the option to switch to m2e.
 I cant do that for some of my projects because they are Eclipse RCP
 3.2 projects that are bodge anyway.
 m-e-p works well enough.


Yes, it was I maintained it also.



 Its worse than you summarize because:
 * it does its own dependency analysis because there was no standard
 way of exposing that before (refactoring to use aether is an option)


= yes it is just horrible. But remember why it doesn't use the native
maven dep management : it is because you want to be able to import a
project that has its dependencies (or more generally some descriptors)
broken. I think it's always no possible even with aether to have a mode
where it loads what it can. I don't remember how is the behavior of m2e or
intellij in that case. I didn't test it for a long time.


 * the ITs were built at the time where there was no IT standard

yes :(


 * there is support for eclipse-like environments (RAD, etc) which is
 even harder to maintain

yes, and like I said, ITs are almost useless because I had several times
the case that even if we continued to generate the same thing, eclipse
didn't support it after an upgrade. And sadly for all these configuration
files, there is no documentation (AFAIR) and are considered as an internal
stuff from eclipse point of view. These aren't APIs that we can rely on.


 * some OSGi support which is using deprecated feature sets and is
 impossible to maintain because there are no ITs or use cases for it.

 yes


 This list is probably a part of the reason that Jason suggested
 retiring plugins.
 (This one is sporadically maintained but it still works as advertised)


yes, but I'm not agree to retire it as far as we have few people like you
involved in it because it continues to be used and probably it continues to
have more users than m2eclipse

Re: Eclipse plugin ITs was Re: [VOTE] Release Maven Eclipse Plugin version 2.9

2012-01-16 Thread Benson Margulies
The marriage of eclipse and maven poses fundamental challenges that
don't exist for Intellij or Netbeans.

Of the three major Java IDE's, only Eclipse incorporates its own
classpath and compiler system. IJ and NB 'just run maven' and analyze
the output for display. Eclipse, on the other hand, actually compiles.
Further, Eclipse builds WAR files, and runs tools like checkstyle,
pmd, and findbugs via its plugin architecture -- typically with an
entirely different configuration system than maven's.

Each of m-e-p and m2e is an attempt to bridge these gaps. m-e-p can't
solve the problem that eclipse has one classpath and maven has two,
nor the problem of bridging configuration one plugin at a time.

m2e, on the other hand, has a very difficult hill to climb. mvn and
eclipse each has a complex class loader system. At best, the result of
running maven inside the eclipse jvm is an even more gigantic thirst
for memory (and particularly permgen space). m2e's long-term success
depends on eclipse changes to accomodate the maven classpath model.
It's also just a giant effort of a small group of people. Dealing with
the Eclipse release train system doesn't make their life any easier,
either.

The net result is that many people find IJ, or even NB, to provide a
less frustrating experience.

Hi Barrie,

thanks for picking this up.
I've fixed some critical issues we faced during development on one of my  
projects, but lost motivation to continue because of the current structure  
of the ITs, which take ages to run.


Anyhow, here's my +1
