This setup is just normal and works in m2e with Eclipse's workspace resolution. I can have an arbitrary graph of projects where the projects can be in source form or binary dependencies: everything is resolved from within Eclipse and I don't need the command line at all. I have worked like this for years and Igor has made many improvements over time to make it easier. > Note - reactor builds and multi-modules builds are out of the question - the > above modules are in separate git repositories and there's no way to create a > "fake reactor" setup - i.e. a separate pom.xml just listing <module/> > elements ( maven complains when that pom is not the parent ). > That said I am working with a customer where this type of workspace resolution we have in Eclipse we want on the command line. Ideally I want the behaviour we have in Eclipse to be available on the command line and in CI systems. The graph of projects you have in your IDE is probably not too dissimilar from a graph of projects you have in a CI system and you should be able to build them all in the same "workspace". I basically always work in Eclipse for this reason and I never install anything until I want to try it all on the command line. Ultimately I hope not to have to install anything ever and maybe install can just go away at some point. > On 15 Jun 2014, at 23:08, Robert Scholte wrote: > >> exactly my thoughts as well.
