   Hi,

I don't know. On the one side, this would of course solve our problems. On the other side, this approach does not scale well with the amount of plugins the
TextMarker IDE depends on.
I'm thinking that if we went this way, you would take some level of Eclipse release and post *all* of its parts (if that was allowed). I thought that's what the maven-eclipse-plugin -- to maven mojo did (but I haven't used it, so that's just a guess...). If that was the case, then no further updates would be needed unless or until you decided to "depend" on some more recent Eclipse
plugin version / feature.

So, I'm not understanding why it would not scale well...

I thought that you have to provide a bundle with eight files for each jar you want to add to the Maven Central (I interpreted Richard's link that way). Those also cover javadoc and sources. Gathering all that stuff manually for each dependency would be some work. "eclipse:to-maven" adds the artifacts to
the local repository. Maybe I missed something or we are talking about
something different.
OK - I haven't used eclipse:to-maven myself. I thought it might gather all the stuff needed automatically, and put it into the local repo, but could, just as
easily, deliver it to maven central.  But, I don't know...


That option would come handy, but I don't know about it either.

There is of course the parameter "deployTo", which we (someone with rights) could probably use to fill the maven repository of the build server without touching the eclipse installation there. I don't know, but I doubt that we could fill any repository.
