The latter doesn't actually require building it with Maven and we
would like to encourage contribution to the project too.
The first thing I did was reading that wiki page [1]. Unfortunately, I did not find there (and still) any instructions on how to setup an eclipse project from the sources.
I've updated instructions on the wiki to clarify that.
Of course, intuitively, as it being a maven project, my attempt was to import
it as such (import maven project wizard). But after doing that, m2eclipse
complained about missing artifacts (extension plugins) that is should had
fetched from the maven-eclipse repository (hosted at sonatype.org) described in
the POM descriptor. But it did not even try that.
Because we don't have support for PDE projects, all m2eclipse projects
need to be imported as existing Eclipse projects.
After some time trying to understand why that was happening, I feel like
calling maven directly with mvn install. And it worked. Of course after this
command line build, I was able to build with eclipse as well, because all the
dependencies were already available locally. But if I remove those from the
local repository and try to build m2eclipse from ide, I get the same problem.
Do you have any idea why I might experiencing that behaviour?
Anyways, I am not quite following what you have been doing with Maven
on the command line, but this part of instructions haven't actually
changed since 0.9.4, so it is just "mvn clean install" command from the
org.maven.ide.eclipse.parent project as described on the wiki.
Also note that build used in 0.9.4 code it is not supported anymore
(we can't really help you with it). In the current trunk version 0.9.5
build had been completely changed. We recommend to use that if you need
to build it yourself.
