hallo
well its not that bad. we have now two projects based on m2eclipse and
wtp and even if its not perfect and has some weird attacks it works.
quite a lot of strangeness comes out of wtp. so developers earlier
complained about wtp. now they complain about m2eclipse+wtp.
others switched back to some older tomcat only eclips plugin to avoid
wtp trouble.
the situation is not perfect but what i remember from wtp 0.6 on: it
never was. java + web development has to be painfull (other story)
i miss filtering in wtp projects and some transparency in wtp (where
config files are read from). for ex filtered web.xml may kills the
project. but other files can be filtered.
with the current m2e 0.9.0 i am quite happy at the moment :)

Bad enough trying to educate a team on Maven and M2eclipse but now trying to
explain how to use both is just to much work. Have been waiting over a year
now for some good stable WTP integration.

I would really prefer to have one Eclipse plugin with the best features of
both, however if competition between the two results in better support for
Maven in Eclipse that will ultimately be a win for Eclipse developers.
The indexing and search features in M2Eclipse are currently much better
(Q4E developers are working on this for a future release). The very useful
view dependencies and analyze dependencies features in Q4E are not
currently available in M2Eclipse. And so on ...
As a result of the split set of features, I just switch back and forth by
enabling/disabling dependency management for each plugin. As of the 0.6
dev release of Q4E an 'm' icon is affixed to the Eclipse project so that
you can tell that the project is enabled with Q4E -- a similar icon has
been available for some time in M2Eclipse.
Over time both plugins will likely improve -- we will just have to stay
tuned.

I have just been playing with Q4E it looks very slick cool dependency
analysis including visual graphs. Also as of the latest 0.6.0 supports
WTP.
Does this signal the slowdown of adoption of m2eclipse and hace the
potential to kill off m2eclipse?
