Hi,

as one might already have read: the Apache Maven team has decided to stop the maintenance of the maven-eclipse-plugin. Even though M2Eclipse does a great job, some still prefer or need to use the maven-eclipse-plugin.
For this reason the plugin is donated to Mojohaus.

I've done a check on the svn history and there is no relevant change after the 2.10 release.

Before completely removing it from Apache source repository we need to move the code. Based on the naming convention the plugin should be renamed to eclipse-maven-plugin. The package should also be renamed, which won't have any impact on the working of the plugin.

On the Apache Maven site we probably need to do a final release (2.99 ?)
My idea (or actually Arnauds) is to let all goals throw a MojoFailureException. The message should refer to both m2eclipse and the eclipse-maven-plugin at mojohaus. It should have the instructions on how you can still use eclipse:eclipse

If there are other things we need to take into account or subjects/ideas to help migrating this project, please respond to this thread.

regards,
Robert
