Hello, I'm new to maven, started reading a lot about how it works now but am still quite unsure if it can do what I'd like to have based on it's dependency-management. Which is: being able to tell which eclipse-plugins should be distributed with an eclipse-plugin I try to develop.
The goal is that maven being called on a target-system will fetch the self-developed plugin from "somewhere" together with all needed jar's and eclipse plugins and have them "installed" into eclipse, making sure that the eclipse provides all plugins which are necessary for running the developed eclipse-plugin. While it seems possible to have jar's deployed for example (side"note": how can they be integrated into the eclipse-project properly?), I only saw an eclipse-plugin for maven which creates an eclipse project from a source-directory, which works fine. But regarding the dependency-plugin of maven I do not seem to find any information if it can handle such things like getting eclipse-plugins and having them integrated. Is this possible (with reasonable effort) at all? If so, how? (even pointing me to a location where I could read about that further would be helpful) Is there some maven-repository which provides eclipse-plugins and allows them to integrate them with a project as a dependency? If so, does it offer to handle version-numbers of plugins even? kind regards Martin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
