Actually I just gave Eclipse Kepler (SR2) a try today and the maven integration
is a nightmare…
When you import your pom.xml as a project (I imported only commons pom.xml) you
get lots of errors about unknown lifecycle mappings (I remember remote
resources plugin, osgi bundle plugin, enforcer plugin) and you don’t know what
to do.
Then after all poms were imported the project was full of redcrosses (ie
errors). I looked quickly and couldn’t find the problem so I stopped and remove
Eclipse Kepler from my machine.
I know if can be fixed and works fine thereafter (the proof is that several
xwiki committers are using it every day! :)). But this is far from easy when
you install it the first time and if you don’t take the time to google or ask
others how they’ve done it!
Thanks
