I would propose not automatically installing bundles into the local repo. There are two main reasons for this:
Incremental builds (i.e. ones that automatically happen on save) need to be really fast to avoid annoying the hell out of users. M2E does this by not running most plugins, instead using the Eclipse incremental compiler and a special subset of plugins. Forcing a full install cycle would be far too slow. Typing “mvn install” is what you do when you have something “finished” and ready to share with other builds, and therefore should be an explicit user action. Having mid-development code published as the latest version in the repository (even as a SNAPSHOT) risks all sorts of weird behaviour, including breaking other workspaces. If you want to publish straight from the Eclipse IDE into Karaf for testing then that is fine, but the Local repository is not a good route.
