eclipse plugin and custom lyfecycle

[nicolas de loof <ni...@gmail.com>]

The eclipse plugin currently requires code-generation plugins to attain the
generate-x phase.
To integrate the eclipse checkstyle plugin, we need to put the .checkstyle
file either in SVN or in the POM.

What about defining a custom lyfecycle phase for developper environement
setting ?

The eclipse:eclipse goal could then prepare this new phase, and any other
plugin (like checkstyle) could be attached to it and generate the expecetd
config files.

As I have no idea how lyfecycles work, I don't know about feasability or
difficulty, but this could make IDE integration easier/cleaner.

Nico.

We put it in our top level POM for company wide settings.

It does require that the user configure their Eclipse with a
checkstyle configuration named exactly as per the POM.  But you get
warnings if you have forgotten that step.

Not sure how this would work.
