m2eclipse is an Eclipse toolset to work with Maven from Eclipse.
It was already tested in the very first versions of Petals Studio but it was removed due to several constraints. However, it has now gained in usability and stability. Instead of writting code to execute Maven commands (in a shell) from Eclipse, the studio should use m2eclipse.
The integration with m2eclipse will have to provide the following artifacts:
- Register the Petals Maven artifacts as a Maven catalog in m2eclipse (currently not working for local catalogs).
- Configure projects with dependencies if necessary (MavenProjectConfigurator).
- Make sure the Petals packaging types (service-unit, service-assembly...) appear in the tooling and are correctly used.
- Replace the current solution to create Petals components and shared libraries. This may need to make some code API in m2eclipse and thus require to propose pacthes in the project.
m2eclipse moved in the Eclipse Foundation few months ago.
Several things have changed. Therefore, this integration should wait for the Indigo release.
