I'm not sure that using an M2E Configurator can help, because configurators are here to hook some maven plugin execution when the IDE perform a rebuild or compile incrementaly. bnd-ipojo-plugin is always executed (as you said) in the 'package' phase, so trying to execute that plugin will necessarily execute goals up to the package phase... Not sure this is the wanted behavior.
The eclipse ipojo builder is probably more aligned with what you wanna do, but it's absolutely unrelated to maven. Maybe you could provide a special M2E Configurator that could enable the ipojo nature (and this the builder) when any ipojo marker is found. In a way that's abusing the M2EConfigurator, because you do not execute any maven goals here, but that could work... --G iPOJO builder: http://gitorious.ow2.org/ow2-chameleon/eclipse-ipojo-builder 2012/11/9 Simon Chemouil <[email protected]> > Hi again :-) > > I'm trying to get iPojo working better with M2E, notably getting the > classes manipulated by the Maven Builder as I modify them. > > There was a thread[1] a few months ago with a proposed approach > updating maven-ipojo-plugin and that ended suggesting the use of the > bnd-ipojo-plugin instead.
