FYI, q4e only supports Eclipse 3.3 and above, and requires Java 5 (but both are worth upgrading to) it's certainly worth trying out ... and can be easily removed if you don't like it :) Carlos Sanchez would be better placed to provide exact details as he is one of the project owners - he reads this list and blogged about q4e at http://www.jroller.com/carlossg/entry/introducing_q4e_a_new_eclipse anyway, from the FAQ lists the differences so far... What are the differences between this plugin and m2eclipse (aka Tycho)? The objective of this plugin is to be part of the Eclipse Foundation<http://www.eclipse.org/>, for that reason the license is EPL and we are going to follow the foundation procedures. Thanks to the sponsorship of DevZuz <http://www.devzuz.com/>, an Eclipse Strategic Developer Member<http://www.eclipse.org/membership/showMember.php?member_id=824>we are in a good position to achieve this goal. Besides the objective, there are technical differences. While m2eclipse shows Maven output in a console, Q is based in events and will show them in an organized way that allows filtering by severity, search,... Functionality like the dependency graph, or creation of new projects using the archetype mechanism are only present in Q. Also it's implemented in several modules with reusability and extension in mind so other people can develop their own plugins taking advantage of the functionality they need (see for instance Candy for Appfuse<http://ramblingabout.wordpress.com/2007/09/02/candy-for-appfuse-will-be-under-extreme-refactoring/>).
