eclipse:m2eclipse

[Timothy Reilly <tr...@prolifics.com>]

I was thinking about the need for m2eclipse support in the maven eclipse
mojo. I was starting to think of what changes might be needed and how a
different goal eclipse:m2eclipse (or such) might be used. 
 
Anyhow, I thought to first checkout jira and see what's been proposed in
the past and I found this patch submitted in March.
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-235
 
Any thoughts on the patch itself? Is there anything I can do to help
test or get this or similar support incorporated into the eclipse mojo?
I am fuzzy on how mojo tests are made (last maven mojo I worked from
didn't seem to have any real tests - the jspcompiler mojo. So maybe
point me in a direction and I could provide the tests mentioned in the
comments?) 
 
TIA

Yup, I totally missed that. Didn't realize it existed already.

I'll give it whirl - I am sure this is what I was looking for. 
Thanks for point it out to me.

Just curious, but have you seen the eclipse:m2eclipse mojo in the new  
eclipse plugin (it might still be in snapshots, I'm not entirely  
sure)? I added an eclipse:m2eclipse mojo that I've been using for  
probably 6 months now, without much trouble...you might see if that  
fits your needs, and I'll bookmark that MECLIPSE issue for follow up.

Thanks,
