Folks;

first off, I have to say I really am amazed at what the m2eclipse
integration already offers so far - great work everyone. :)

However, three minor questions I stumbled across while running
m2eclipse in everyday use:

(a) Auto-build dependent projects: I do have a "top level" mvn war
project that includes a set of local mvn jar projects (which, in turns,
also include some local project dependencies). If I am about to change
code in some of the most "low-level" projects, in order to deploy this
code in worst case I have to manually clean / install this project and
each one depending upon it up to the .war file to make use of the new
code. Is there a way of making m2eclipse do this automatically as soon
as I run clean/install on the "top level" project?

(b) Eclipse build integration: So far, I see there is "Project ->
Clean" which does, well, Eclipses "clean" on the selected project, and
I do have a chance of running "maven2 clean" on a mvn aware project in
order to get it "cleaned" in terms of maven understanding. So far, this
doesn't seem too smart - isn't there a way to make "mvn clean" run
instead of Eclipses own "clean" while selecting "Project -> Clean" on a
mvn project?

(c) Web Tools integration: Although I could make use of the stuff
provided by the Codehaus mojo folks (which I also do, by now), a
feature I really miss is making the Eclipse WTP environment recognize
mvn war projects to be "Web Projects", providing all the support WTP
offers for this kind of artifacts (web.xml editors, ability to run the
project on a locally created app server, ...). Any chances to get this
sort of integration improved without using the maven2 eclipse plugin to
build a wtp artifact?

Thanks for your time and bye,
Kristian
