Dear All,
I have a strong opinion that m2eclipse should differentiate
between src/main and src/test, namely that any Java main
application, started from under src/test (or whatever is
configured as test sources) should get a test-scoped classpath,
while any Java main ran from src/main - should be given runtime
scope classpath by m2eclipse. This kinda of unchartered territory
as maven cli does not directly run applications.
Would anyone agree or dis-agree with this as a requirement for
m2eclipse?
I'm no developer on M2Eclipse, so I could be wrong. But I don't think
that m2eclipse does something when you run a Java application
application inside an eclipse project. M2Eclipse only defines a
"virtual" user-lib that will the project classpath.
I guess, I did not clarify what I meant well enough, sorry. Maven
Eclipse plugin, among other things, supplies so called "classpath
container" which is interrogated by Eclipse when the latter tries to
figure out the classpath.
And what I solicit the input for: a feature in m2eclipse that would
check what Eclipse is trying to do - start a src/main class or start
src/test class as Java main, and apply "runtime" or "test" scope
correspondingly. While adding "provided" scope to either classpath
should be optional and controlled by an m2eclipse preference.
I hope this better explains the requirement which, in my opinion, is
essential for m2eclipse to successfully rule the world :)

I'm not even sure that Eclipse would allow to define a classpath for
compilation, and a classpath for executionn and so on as maven does.
If Eclipse does, Then M2Eclipse could maybe define many classpath.
But to sum up, I guess it must more an Eclipse problem (if it doesn't
already permit this as I guess) than an m2eclipse problem ?
Isn't it ?
Cheers.
