There's pain in the process, not huge, but irritating
first off there's the definition of the M2_REPO variable, not a huge problem, especially if you stick to just one workspace. I tend to create workspaces as and when I need them, and I can't see how to make my variable definition cross multiple workspaces. Next, and probably more significant is removing the binary dependencies and setting up inter project dependencies. After the maven eclipse:eclipse command for example, the tools project depends on the binary artifacts generated from the maven build of the impl, lib and api projects . What most developers are going to want is inter project dependencies. So there's quite a bit of manual deletion of jars from the class path entries, then, you might want for example the lib project to expose the api projects interface, etc. etc. I'm quite well practised at setting this up, but its still a 5 minute job.

AFAIK there's no 'rule' that says this must not be done. However no other Apache (or non-Apache) project that i can think of does this so it would be unusual and that makes me wonder why. Is it just the extra "mvn -Pelcipse eclipse:eclipse" thats the problem or is there something else about it thats a pain? (Also we may be able to get rid of the '-Peclipse' bit now if that would make it easier to bare? ...ant
