Thanks Neil, for the information. I created the PR for Java EE 8 integration, and those enhancements are specifically geared towards Maven projects. The PR includes the following functionality:
- Ability to create a new Maven Web Project using Java EE 8 (utilizes a Java EE 8 maven archetype) - Ability to change an existing Maven Web Project to use the Java EE 8 Platform - Support for GlassFish 5.0.1 and GlassFish 5.1 (enhanced by adding separate identifiers in the sources for GlassFish 5 branch - gfv5ee8, rather than gfv3ee6) - IDE recognizes all Java EE 8 artifact versions, for example: JSF 2.3 faces-config, CDI beans.xml 2.0, web.xml 4.0 +1 for merging the Payara server and micro tools integration as well.
