For a complete list, check the Status page.

Features in Q for Eclipse core

Maven suggestions in the XML editor

When editing pom.xml files, values for the GroupId, PackageId and Version tags when adding a dependency are available.

This feature uses the Open Artifact Search Framework outlined below.

Always updated dependencies

No need to mvn install the dependencies on the workspace when running maven goals. The most current version is always used.

This means that you can modify a project on your workspace and use it in the surefire tests of a different one depending on it. Instantly.

Profile activation/deactivation

The profile view allows for quickly enabling and disabling profiles when running maven.

Open Artifact Search Framework

New extension points allow third parties to develop and register search engines for their indexing solution.

Several implementations are bundled with the install so you can use it out of the box.

Resolve Maven Mojos from the Workspace

It is possible to have maven mojo projects on the workspace and haven them used by q4e.

New Archetype Provider for the Archetype Catalog format

The archetype catalog xml format used by the archetype 2.0 plug-in can now be used with q4e for selecting an archetype in the New Maven Project wizard.

This format is used to register an internal catalog by default, which replaces the wiki provider (although it can still be manually added).

Upgraded embedder

The new embedder contains support for new maven features (like toolchain and import scope support). And don't forget about the bug fixes.

WTP support

J2EE Project Dependencies management

Automatic synchronization of J2EE project dependencies from maven dependencies for war projects.

All your dependencies in the workspace will be available when running the project on a J2EE server.
