1. You can always develop with IDE other than Eclipse, notepad for example !
But for plugins, Eclipse provide some very useful editors and tools.
With maven-eclipse-plugin, you can "mix" maven's concept of dependency
managment and eclipse tools without effort.
You could create an eclipse plugin without eclipse using maven assembly.
2. the main interrest to have it as maven project is continious
integration and nightly builds.
the eclipse'w way is complex and you can just build plugins, and tests
them. you cannot generate site like maven does.

I don't completely get the use the maven-eclipse-plugin to build
eclipse plugins in maven.
that raises a few questions.
1. you cannot develop the plugin in any other IDE, only in eclipse
itself?
2. why even bother having it as maven project?
do I miss something obvious?

Hi,
The current maven-eclipse-plugin is definitively the more accurate
plugin to begin with.
The current SNAPSHOT could generate the MANIFEST.MF file needed by any
eclipse plugin, but it would not generate plugin.xml.
there is some work in progress by somebody here in the list to make an
archetype for eclipse plugin.
So for compiling eclipse plugin, the work is almost done ( for me, it is
working ) .
What is missing today is :
- packaging eclipse plugin ( could be done with assembly )
- support for RCP packaging ( currently you cannot build eclipse RCP app
like eclipse does with its own process )
- a plugin to test eclipse plugin
the two last thing are done with eclipse's own stuff ( ant + headless
eclipse).
Stéphane.
