Hi users,

  For several days now I tried to clean up a little bit issues recorded in
Jira.
  For the next version of the plugin we have already the following issues
solved (you can try the SNAPSHOT deployed on
http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository/) :
** Bug
    * [MECLIPSE-160] - Wrong description with the goal "add-maven-repo"
documentation
    * [MECLIPSE-172] - Don't add Default ClasspathContainer if a alternate
JRE or a "Execution Environment" is configured as ClasspathContainer.
    * [MECLIPSE-291] - tests fail with spaces in the path name
    * [MECLIPSE-296] - Wrong generated source-path when warSourceDirectory
is set
    * [MECLIPSE-297] - eclipse:clean deletes files from pom projects
    * [MECLIPSE-301] - eclipse:clean doesn't respect packaging 'pom'
    * [MECLIPSE-305] - souce-path is absolute versus relative with WAR
    * [MECLIPSE-315] - RadWebSettingsWriter uses hardcoded webcontent path
and ignores warSourceDirectory
    * [MECLIPSE-342] - Found an equals call to check unrelated types
    * [MECLIPSE-346] - Transitive dependencies aren't used to resolve
JEE/JSP/EJB/Servlet versions
    * [MECLIPSE-352] - RAD application.xml is not generated with good
parameters
** Improvement
    * [MECLIPSE-163] - eclipe:eclipse 2.3-SNAPSHOT with wtp-1.5 fixes
    * [MECLIPSE-213] - more jee support for wtp
    * [MECLIPSE-264] - Support for WTP2.0
    * [MECLIPSE-281] - Documentation patch for PDE support
    * [MECLIPSE-292] - Behaviour for sources and Javadoc attachement for
dependencies should be consistent
    * [MECLIPSE-331] - Allow to use a packaging model to override the
packaging defined in the pom
    * [MECLIPSE-333] - WTP-2.0 support with howto apt, refactoring and
contextroot handling
** New Feature
    * [MECLIPSE-127] - Ability to add other workspace configuration similar
to add-maven-repo goal
** Wish
    * [MECLIPSE-308] - Change the method of verifying whether JRE is
included in "classpathContainers"

  BUT there are always 163 outstanding issues :-(
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE
  Few of them have a patch , and when there's one, it's often without a test
case.

  A test case isn't necessarily a real running test case for the plugin, but
just a part of a POM, some notes about how to reproduce the problem, ...

  It's actually very difficult to maintain this plugin due to number of
issues.
  It could help us a lot if reporters could check if their issues are always
valid with the current version of the plugin and if there's not another
related/duplicated issue reported.
  Also if you are using some specific features (PDE, WTP, ...) or eclipse
versions (RAD) you can help us by letting us know if you encounter issues
reported in Jira. You can vote for them, and add explanations about how to
reporduce them. It'll ease the fix.

  Thanks a lot.
