Jun 30th, 2009: Eclipse IAM 0.10.0, Galileo edition!

Eclipse IAM has been updated to work with Galileo (Eclipse 3.5) and to use some of the new projects on this eclipse release train. Ganymede users(Eclipse 3.4) should make sure they have added all the update sites listed in the installation instructions.

Adopters of the latest and greatest Eclipse Galileo can install from the update site as usual.

If upgrading from Q4E 0.8.1 or earlier, follow these extra steps.

See what's new in 0.10.0 on the Eclipse wiki

Note that this is an unofficial Eclipse IAM release to allow our users to enjoy the progress made until we complete the move to the foundation

May 6th, 2009: New major release 0.9.0

After some work moving to the Eclipse Foundation we have made the first release of Eclipse IAM.

Major improvements are improved performance (less builds are triggered) and form based pom editors, with the ability of opening parent poms, effective pom, or settings file.

Read the installation instructions as we are using a new update site to avoid confusion with previous Q4E releases. If you are upgrading from a previous version of Q4E you will need to do some extra steps

Dec 17th, 2008: New maintenance release 0.8.1

While we walk the path to making Eclipse IAM snapshots available to you, we've released a new q4e release with a minor bugfix to behave more nicely with the central repository, reducing the number of downloads of the central index file. Please install and help the maven repo maintainers conserve bandwidth.

Codebase hosted at eclipse

The Eclipse Foundation has accepted q4e in their subversions. Development of q4e will now continue at Eclipse IAM.

Please use IAM bugzilla for new reporting new issues and suggestions. You can also help us by reporting your favorite tickets in bugzilla (if you do so, please let us know on the original ticket!).

Carlos Sanchez: Q4E and Eclipse IAM, Maven integration for Eclipse

"Q for Eclipse", now Eclipse IAM (Eclipse Integration for Apache Maven), is a new Open Source project that integrates Apache Maven and the Eclipse IDE for faster, more agile, and more productive development. The plugin allows you to run Maven from the IDE, import existing Maven projects without intermediate steps, create new projects using Maven archetypes, synchronize dependency management, search artifact repositories for dependencies that are automatically downloaded, view a graph of dependencies and more! Join us to discover how to take advantage of all these features, as well as how they can help you to improve your development process.

He has specialized in solving a variety of business challenges in a wide variety of industries, including e-commerce, financial services, telecommunications, and software development. A member of the Apache Maven Project Management Committee (PMC), Carlos is one of the maintainers of the central Maven repository and a co-author of "Better Builds with Maven," the first book about Maven 2. He is currently Director at Exist Global in Los Angeles. Carlos received his Computer Engineering degree at the University of Coruña, Spain, and enjoys traveling and discovering new places.
