Quoting Danny Angus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I *like* writing GUIs and ANT tasks! And while we're on the subject Eclipse plugins should be on the agenda too.
And to go further, i saw some guys work on maven plugins for eclipse.
There are also plugins for other IDEs like IDEA, Jdeveloper and Jbuilder. They are all really simple, setting up a project for eclipse is simple running '> maven eclipse' and a .classpath and .project file is created
http://radio.weblogs.com/0112098/stories/2003/02/12/usingEclipseAndMaven.html
Basicly what they all do is take the POM (Your project model, where all the dependencies are listed) and builds up a IDE specific project file with a classpath that match the POM.
We have a similar simple approach for creating a plexus (an avalon container) runtime, where its only a matter of running '>maven plexus:deploy' to get a runtime that is ready to be distributed. Based on the POM for each component all (non project) referenced components are fetch from your local repo (or from some remote repo) and included in the runtime distribution. In addition all the startup scripts are created.
