Yes, but the list would still be a tiny fraction of the one in the Run
As > Maven build... > Select dialog box. Also, it needn't be a linear
list but rather organized hierarchically by plugin, e.g.:
docbkx
generate-html
generate-pdf
For this you also going to see the following goals:
sdocbook
sdocbook:info
sdocbook:generate-htmlchunk
sdocbook:generate-fo
jar
jar
test-jar
sign
sign-verify
source
aggregate
jar
test-jar
Configs for jar and source plugins are often omitted, so there won't
be a reference point in the pom.
Anyways, if someone want to contribute a patch for this we will
consider it.
Though I am not sure we can contribute multiple levels of menus under
"Run as..." menu and from UI usability point of view more then 2 level
menus are really hard to navigate, so special view would be easier to
work with.
Also, it may not be obvious, but you can use "Run as... / Maven
build" (Ctrl-Shift-X, M) shortcut to quickly launch custom goals on
selected project (you can also remap shortcut to your own preferences
in Window / Preferences / General / Keys). That action remembers
created configurations and if there is more then one it will show you
selection dialog, so it work ok without mouse.
That's nice, but it still requires manual setup of the configurations.
I wish it were more automated.
All launch configurations allow to share them with your team, so it
need to be done just once.
Anyways, please consider voting and comment on jira issues related to
this:
MNGECLIPSE-351: allow to configure custom maven launch shortcuts
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNGECLIPSE-351
MNGECLIPSE-683: Add a console with code completion to run maven
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNGECLIPSE-683
