Alex commented on MECLIPSE-197:
-------------------------------
This feature is also useful when debugging 3rd-party libraries. I would not
limit the capability to "project reference" to projects within the same group.
> Automatic reference of dependee projects

> Key: MECLIPSE-197
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-197
> Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: dependency resolution

> It would very useful to have the ability to automatically reference dependee
> project for which the project source code is locally found.
> Let's assume that module y depends on module x. The project description of
> module y will contain directly or indirectly - i.e. transitively - a
> dependency to module x.
> The execution of the goal "eclipse:eclipse" on the module y would normally
> generate an eclipse project with a jar dependency to module x.
> Often it is convenient to directly reference the module x as eclipse project
> to allow concurrent modification and compilation of both module x and y.
> The attached patch allows to automatically reference projects if the dependee
> project's source code is found in same directory as the dependent project. A
> project is a candidate match if the group-id and artifact-id properties of
> the two project equal and the two version equal or the dependee's version is
> the requested version but SNAPSHOT tagged.
> Example of directory structure:
> /usr/src/product/com.company.product.x/pom.xml
> /usr/src/product/com.company.product.y/pom.xml
> The feature can be enabled via the maven's boolean property
> eclipse.referenceDependeeProjects
> The property default value is false and therefore the feature is disabled per
> default.
> The following is an example of execution with the feature enabled:
> # mvn eclipse:eclipse -Declipse.referenceDependeeProjects=true
>
> Currently it is assumed that the dependee project sources are within a
> directory named after the project's artifact-id.
> Future extensions could consider the more general maven's version matching
> strategy - is this coded anywhere specific in maven's source code? - and
> possibly allowing for locating the dependee source in directories with
> generic names or paths.
