Hi everyone. I have "patched" maven-eclipse-plugin to create an eclipse project also for projects with "pom" packaging type. I was wondering if this was a bug or a feature and if someone is interested in the plugin behaving this way other than me.
In case, I can work on it and submit a patch. I would also like to share with you my thoughts about the "pom" packaging: basically I think that "pom" is misleading, because you can make multi-module and use it for inheritance and developers are confused. I think that a best practice is to avoid that a multi-module is also inherited by others and that having different keywords for packaging type should be better. Something like "multi-module" and "abstract". What do you think? -- Daniele Dellafiore http://danieledellafiore.net
