I don't want to go into these kind of details yet, there are more things which needs to be done.

Let's first agree that we don't want to maintain it here anymore. Since there's still need for the plugin, mojohaus seems to be the best place to continue its development.

+0.5.

Having been using M2E for almost 10 years, granted, was touchy in the
beginning, but wo issue nowaways,
I guess that if it comes to MojoHaus we should put a notice for newcomers
that they're likely more looking for M2E than using it.

Btw, if it comes to MojoHaus I suppose you plan to change
maven-eclipse-plugin to eclipse-maven-plugin, or do you plan to keep the GA
as-is for backward compat?

Cheers

Hi,

during the latest upgrade of the plugin-parent I faced several issues with
the maven-eclipse-plugin.
It will take quite some time to fix these issues, but is it worth
maintaining it here?
Nowadays the Maven support for Eclipse is good and stable.
The maven-eclipse-plugin has a lot of integration tests which should be
rewritten, because it always launches a new Maven fork and it takes ages to
complete. This simply blocks good continuous integration of the plugins.
I know there are still some projects with can't use the Maven Integration of Eclipse and depend on this plugin, so the sources need to stay available
for users so the can extend it for their own usage.

I therefor propose that we retire maven-eclipse-plugin for the Apache
Maven project and donate it to the Mojohaus project

If this vote is successful I will make one final release of the plugin,
making
it clear on the plugin site that it has been retired. After that the
source code
will be moved into the "retired" area in Subversion.

The process for retiring a plugin is described here:
http://maven.apache.org/developers/retirement-plan-plugins.html

The vote is open for 72 hours.

[ ] +1 Yes, it's about time
[ ] -1 No, because...
