We are glad to announce 0.9.5 release of m2eclipse, which can be
installed from the update site at http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/update/
This release includes number of bug fixes and the most notable new
feature is the form-based editor for Maven pom.xml. You can see more
details for new features and improvements on New and Noteworthy page [1]
and list of fixed bugs in JIRA [2].
Please note that POM editor is still in an incubation state and may
have some glitches, but we believe it is already solid enough for a
daily use. Here is a few examples of the features provided by the POM
editor:
* support of the full POM schema, including Maven profiles
* integrated code assistance and Maven repository search for Maven artifacts
* hyperlinking between POMs, including dependencies, plugins, parent
POM, etc.
* hyperlinking to the artifacts and Maven plugin project pages
* hyperlinking to xml configuration for Maven plugins from the form
* interactive dependency hierarchy and dependency graph viewers
* viewing effective pom for any Maven POM
* viewing POMs from local Maven repository, as well as from
CVS, SVN and other sources in the IDE
There is a known issue when form is not updated after making changes
on the XML source tab and it can be worked around by using "Refresh"
action from the top right hand corner of the POM editor.
We also would like to thank everyone who helped us with this release,
including early feedback, bug reports, test projects, discussions in
the mailing list and the news group. We appreciate all of it, but
especially the time it takes to create test projects, etc. that allow us
to reproduce a bug. As always, bug reports and feature requests are
welcome in the project issue tracker [3].
