maven editor 4 eclipse

[sg...@media-style.com]

Hi maven friends, 

i found a interesting issue and just wish to let you know.
It a kind of improvement suggestion for the ma(e)ven IDE project.

Since I didn't remember the correct syntax of a ant command i was open a build.xml in eclipse.
Eclipse has a ant editor with syntax checking and code completion.

That brings the idea and i was browsing the code of the eclipse ant editor.
Surprise surprise the ant script syntax is described in a dtd file. So i was just editing the dtd file and 
vola there was a working maven.xml editor with syntax checking and code completion.
That could be useful for pom as well.

Sorry  i haven't the time to really create this editor since the dtd is a bit longer but in case someone 
searching for a contribution idea for maven, feel free to create a maven.xml editor by just editing the 
dtd. ;-)

Happy hacking!
Stefan

This is really good info,
the eclipse ant editor pretty much rocks, I have two weeks of 
imlementation hello coming,
but after that I may get my hands into it, since we are working a log 
with maven in eclipse...
