[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNGECLIPSE-105?page=comments#action_72511 ] Robert Elliot commented on MNGECLIPSE-105: ------------------------------------------
I've been stepping through the WTP code, and have as a result raised this improvement request: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=154165 I wonder if someone who is much more familiar with the Eclipse extensibility framework could have a look and see whether there is anything that can be done without an alteration to WTP. Questions I immediately have are: * What happens if two plugins use the org.eclipse.wst.server.core.moduleFactories extension point, both declaring they are for the same type of project? Is there any way for a plugin to specify "use me, not that other one"? * Can the Maven plugin use this extension point without making the whole plugin dependent on the WTP project at runtime? As obviously this extension point would only get used if you had already installed WTP. I'm afraid I'm very green when it comes to the Eclipse plugin framework. > Add maven-managed dependencies as project J2EE Module Dependencies > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MNGECLIPSE-105 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNGECLIPSE-105 > Project: Maven 2.x Extension for Eclipse > Issue Type: Wish > Components: Dependency Resolver > Affects Versions: 0.0.5 > Environment: Eclipse 3.1.2 with WTP 1.0, using Tomcat 5.5 for running > webapp projects.
