Re: Some hacks to the eclipse plugin

[Moritz Petersen]

Although I work with Eclipse from time to time, I don't get it. Does 
the <classpathentry> tag mean, that /delfos-ejb is interpreted as a 
source path? I usually don't put my sources directly into the project 
root. Further I don't have ever used project dependencies or 
inheritance to build a project with multiple subprojects. But to my 
mind, it should be used to create the "src" entry in the .classpath 
file instead a IDE specific property.
I mean that the use of IDE specific properties might be dangerous -- 
although it appears to be quite useful in this case --, in the long run 
we will end up in project descriptors, that depend on one specific IDE. 
I don't think that this would be the idea of Maven.
So, is it possible to modify this hack to use already build in features 
of Maven, to gain the same effect? And: Is there a policy about how IDE 
specific the project descriptor is allowed to be?

Hi, I want to submit a small hack to the eclipse plug-in to allow
project references in the generation of the classpath.
It works like this:
- In the project dependencies add a property "eclipse.project" to the
dependency and it will be treated as an eclipse project, for example:
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>delfos</groupId>
            <artifactId>delfos-ejb</artifactId>
            <version>SNAPSHOT</version>
            <properties>
                <eclipse.project>true</eclipse.project>
            </properties>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
Then the plug-in generates the .classpath like this:
<classpathentry kind="src" path="/delfos-ejb" />
This is very useful when you have sub-projects.
