I was the last one doing a release there, primarily fixing some issues that blocked it from being much of use for Java 8 projects that share the .project / .classpath files in SCM. I still stand by the reasoning that I had the last time, of why there is still the need for it - despite the great lengths that m2e has come.
But I can totally welcome the idea to donate it to Mojohaus, where it whould be more open to changes by users who want to chip in. Because let's face it, I didn't even get to fix the formality issues that Karl-Heinz found during the vote of that last release... :-/ So, +1 on retring and donating it. Btw, are there any changes after the last release that require an additional release now? 2015-10-06 22:54 GMT+02:00 Michael Osipov <micha...@apache.org>: > Am 2015-10-04 um 11:18 schrieb Robert Scholte: > >> Hi, >> >> during the latest upgrade of the plugin-parent I faced several issues >> with the maven-eclipse-plugin. >> It will take quite some time to fix these issues, but is it worth >> maintaining it here? >> Nowadays the Maven support for Eclipse is good and stable. >> The maven-eclipse-plugin has a lot of integration tests which should be >> rewritten, because it always launches a new Maven fork and it takes ages >> to complete.
