I'm not sure I understand how the MNG-2546 issue is related to what I need in the IDE. let me reiterate my requirements. 1. find out what the source roots are (even if not existing yet) for a given project without executing it. That sort of points in the directtion of declaratively marking some mojo parameters as source roots and making it available from the mojo descriptions. 2. plugging into the maven execution cycle from the IDE is already possible. A simple method is to register the loggers, a more advanced one is to replace plexus components with custom, proxying versions of my own that do additional bookkeeping. It wouldn't hurt to make it easier but it's generally possible. 3. I want to keep the actual building as separated from the IDE environment as possible. This might sound contrary to 2. but is actually complimentary. I want a peek tool into the project definition (2), but the actual process of execution shall be untouched(3). Additionally one might want to have multiple versions of maven to execute in the IDE environment at once (in case of some binary incompatibility). That's where having the IDE's build to depend on one particular version could hurt.
Are you aware of the work being done on the eclipse:eclipse plugin to support pde development? This is command line building of eclipse plugins and not embedded in eclipse. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
