Cross-IDE standard for "Run Configurations"

[Steve Hannah <st...@weblite.ca>]

Maven makes some things much easier by standardizing many of the build
settings in a way that is IDE agnostic.  However, every IDE seems to
provide its own proprietary "Actions" configuration for defining the
"Actions" or "Tasks" that can be run on a project.  E.g. "Run", "Debug",
"Build Jar", etc..

It would be nice if there were some well-supported metadata standard for
this that was supported by all IDEs.    Does anyone know if such a standard
format exists - or if there are any groups working on such a format?

Well, not that I know of, but I do know it's been discussed here (or
on the dev@ list) before.  It would certainly be a good thing from my
perspective.

Best wishes,
