These files are always differents.... but i think to map one of the 
proposed PDE project is a good idea

If you try to create a new project with these templates, you can see the 
contents of the files.

the actual maven-eclipse-plugin handle the required dependencies very 
well, so you need to use it ( i think) .

how much different are those files from plugin to plugin ? i know that when
you start the development of an eclipse plugin, the wizard proposes you a
certain number of prepackaged templates. maybe there' can be a 1:1 mapping
between those templates and the files you suggested.

the rest of the project can follow the maven directory structure (
> src/main/java , src/test/java)..

one more thing maybe is needed:
what kind of dependencies an ecplise plugin would typically depend on ? i
guess some of the eclipse apis are needed..

thanks,
valerio

Eclipse plugin is like a java project, but there is 3 files that are 
mandatory :
plugin.xml, build.properties and META-INF/MANIFEST.MF .

the rest of the project can follow the maven directory structure ( 
src/main/java , src/test/java)..

Hello Stéphane,

maybe i can contribute some code with the proposed archetype. what do you
think?
I'm quite new to eclipse plugin development, so i don't know either if
there's a common/best practice way to organize a project structure.

Hi,

there is some improvement to the maven-eclipse-plugin to adress this.
If you set these lines in your POM, you could be able to compile and 
debug an eclipse plugin :

                <plugin>
                    <artifactId>maven-eclipse-plugin</artifactId>
                    <version>2.3-SNAPSHOT</version>
                    <configuration>
                        <pde>true</pde>
                    </configuration>
                </plugin>

But there is no archetype to create an eclipse plugin skeleton for the 
moment.

Cheers,

Stéphane

i did. this is not what i was referring to.
the use case for me is that i want to develop an ecplise plugin, and i
wonder if it's possible to develop it using maven as build tool.

what you suggested is usefull to use eclipse as the development environment
for my project: whic is good for sure, but not what i was referring to :)

thanks anyway,
valerio
