maven-eclipse-plugin and PDE: did linked jars ever work?

[Graham Leggett <mi...@sharp.fm>]

Hi all,

When the pde flag is set to true inside a maven-eclipse-plugin config, the
config files so generated are changed to use linked resources instead of
ordinary dependencies.

Some research into linked resources and eclipse seem to show that linked
resources don't work with PDE in eclipse - as soon as eclipse hands over
the build to ant, the linked resources are now effectively missing, and
the build doesn't work.

I would like to find out from the original developers of the
maven-eclipse-plugin whether this linked resources config ever worked, and
what was the original reason for using linked resources in the first
place?

So far it seems that eclipse will only let you use PDE if the jar
dependencies exist physically within your source tree, which can be fudged
using the maven-dependency-plugin.

Regards,
Graham
