Integrate Maven and Eclipse plugins

Support for integration between Maven and Eclipse RCP/Plugins

Need more info

Integrate pom.xml and manifest.mf

I'd love to see integration with the maven osgi plugin and some way to integrate pom.xml and plugin.xml/manifest.mf.

(Josh Suereth)

Is this done by maven-bundle-plugin?

Resolve (bundle) dependencies on poms from Eclipse Runtime

The ability to depend on eclipse plugins from a maven-like repository (or treat your eclipse install as a maven repository)

(Josh Suereth)

Open artifact search

For v1.0.0, I would love to see our artifact search integrated with repository managers like archiva, etc ..

(Erle Mantos)

Form based pom.xml editor

Form-based POM editor ala Manifest editor of eclipse.

(Erle Mantos)

This has been in development since, at least 0.6.0... should be out before 1.0.0

Keyboard shortcuts

I would like to see keyboard shortcuts on commonly used stuffs to be implemented in q4e. Developers are more on keyboards rather than on mouse for faster development.

(Allan Ramirez)

One way to clean

As long as mvn clean != Project -> Clean, I'd like to see 'clean' on the context menu. Project -> Clean seems to clean only classes and test-classes. In the case of war and ear packaging, they use build directories which do not get cleaned. So if a dependency or some file is removed, it still exists in the build directory and will get repackaged. A proper clean has to be run by going to execute goal.

(Robert Dale)

Nexus search

(Rodrigo Ruiz)

Partial integration available on 0.7.0

Integration of commonly used eclipse plugins

Integration of some commonly used eclipse plugins on project import/ update: checkstyle-cs, PMD, findbugs, cobertura, etc. Maybe as optional extensions, just like the dependency viewer.

(Rodrigo Ruiz)

Need more information regarding what the integration would be

Maven suggestions also for site.xml files

For skin selection

(Rodrigo Ruiz)

wysiwyg editor for apt documents

(Rodrigo Ruiz)

Multimodule import on a single project

Being able to import a multimodule project in a single eclipse project. I know that this could have issues when there are weird dependencies in the modules and also that it won't provide good isolation between the modules, but I find very annoying when I checkout code I use for reference and not for developing to have to allocate dozen projects to it and not be able to use a single project like I do with m2eclipse.
