I am trying once again to get UIMA trunk playing nicely with my Eclipse ;) I 
would like to use m2eclipse for development, because that is what I always use 
and that is where I always failed with the Eclipse plugin projects. Can I use 
m2eclipse with these, or do I have to turn them into PDE projects?

So I used eclipse:eclipse to turn the uimaj-ep* projects into PDE projects - 
that seemed to work more or less. 

- The uima-ep-cas-editor project now complains that it cannot import several 
packages from uimaj-core. That is not very surprising because the 
eclipse:eclipse goal did not generate the necessary exports on the 
uimaj-ep-runtime project.

- For some odd reason the eclipse:eclipse goal has generated links e.g. for to 
the .m2/repo.../../uimaj-core-2.3.2-SNAPSHOT.jar in the project root. I wonder 
why, because that JAR is not listed in the Classpath section of the PDE 
Manifest, so why link it into the project?

Can you explain me what is happening here? What I did was:

- Check out uimaj/trunk as a workspace project in Eclipse
- Run "Import existing maven projects" on that checked out project to get the 
actual projects (that wouldn't be necessary if there was a top-level POM - cf. 
UIMA-1967)
- Run "package" on aggregate-uimaj to generate the missing sources
- Update Maven Dependencies on all projects to find the generated sources and 
add them to the build path
- Run eclipse:eclipse on all 7 uimaj-ep-* modules
- Build all
- Now I have several projects with strange links in them and package import 
errors (as explained above)

I can't see what went wrong. Do you have and idea why it doesn't work?
