Re: Request for new goal in Maven Eclipse Plugin

How much pay us?

It is not the principle of the open sources. Here, we are not suppliers of
services.
If you need a new feature, you can implement it and purpose a patch or send
a mail to the users list, but if you send a message with :
"I would guess that you could implement something like this rather fast." =>
you can do it
"If you could find it, hook up to it " => you can find it
"contact him and discuss how he has implemented it. If your lucky, perhaps
you could reuse all of it " => contact him yourself

Sorry, but I refuse to see at this features with a request like yours.

Emmanuel

Subject: Request for new goal in Maven Eclipse Plugin


Hi guys.

I'm working at a large Telecom project in Norway where we are implementing a
huge middleware platform based on:

- WAS
- WSAD
- Maven
- CruiseControl
- ....

We have used the last couple of weeks to set up a Continues Integration
environment based on CruiseControl and Maven, which works perfectly. But we
still have one issue left before we are 100% satisfied. We use WSAD/Eclipse
as dev IDE. Because of the amount of ejb modules (apprx. 40) and a couple of
branches in CVS, it's cruical that we have some kind of system for our
developers to maintain code in CVS; and get the correct modules (and tags)
from CVS. Therefore we're using the Eclipse Team Project Set functionallity.

When Maven is building our app every night it's also cruicial that it checks
out the correct "workspace" everytime, so we created (a rather poorly I must
say) Ant task that parses the the .psf file to know which modules to
checkout. So there's the problem right there. We don't want to maintain both
a Project Set file and a maven.xml file that hardcodes all modules that must
be checked out. I was rather surprised when I couldn't find this
functionallity in any open source Maven plugin. Since the Project Set is an
Eclipse thing and you guys probably know the eclipse plugins and libs rather
well, I would guess that you could implement something like this rather
fast.

Eclipse have some code somewhere that parses Project Set files. If you could
find it, hook up to it and call ut from a new Maven goal in your plugin, it
would be great!

IBM
Barry Searle at IBM (responsible for creating a lot of Ant tasks etc for
WSAD and WAS) have already created an Ant task for WSAD that performs this
operation. It would probably be a good idea to contact him and discuss how
he has implemented it. If your lucky, perhaps you could reuse all of it :)

I hope this is something you find valuable as well and are interessted in
looking at.
