Allows prefixing of eclipse project name
----------------------------------------
Key: MECLIPSE-251
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-251
Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: multiproject
Affects Versions: 2.4
Reporter: Martin Desruisseaux
This issue is related to MECLIPSE-44, MECLIPSE-119 and MECLIPSE-161. They were
closed as fixed by MECLIPSE-189, but the later doesn't adress fully our issue
(or works only if we are lucky).
We have two Maven projects (namely _Geotools_ and _Geoserver_) made of many
modules. Some Geoserver modules may (by accident) have the same name than
Geotools modules. For example both Geotools and Geoserver have a module named
"_main_". We need to import those two projects in Eclipse, because they are
closely related and share the same pool of developpers. Before MECLIPSE-189, it
was not possible with those names, because of module name clash like "_main_".
Since MECLIPSE-189, it is possible if we are lucky enough to have different
Geotools and Geoserver version numbers.
We would like a way to prefix every Eclipse module names. For example we would
like a way to add {{"gt-"}} in front of every Geotools modules imported in
Eclipse. I realize that the common practice in Maven projects seems to be long
module names (for example "{{maven-eclipse-plugin}}"), but such practice seems
quite redundant with group name. We would like to keep module names that match
SVN directory names or Maven report directory names (otherwise we often get
broken links in generated HTML pages), and we would like to keep the path names
simple and intelligible (long module names don't bring much compared to full
path names, which should already be unique).
The ability to add some prefix before Eclipse project names would help. If this
is not possible, something like {{addGroupNameToProjectName}} property (similar
to {{addVersionToProjectName}} defined in MECLIPSE-189) could be a fallback.
