                 Key: MECLIPSE-618
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-618
             Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: M2Eclipse support
    Affects Versions: 2.7
         Environment: Any
            Reporter: Andre Doherty


MANIFEST.MF files generated by the plugin are empty, therefore a correct 
deployment of an EAR project on an application server such as JBoss will fail 
with classloading issues. 

After a close look at the source code the problem comes from the fact that the 
dependencies resolving is disabled in the mojo, in order to not feed the 
.classpath, but having this side-effect.

I suggest resolving dependencies in any case, and adding a property instead to 
filter dependencies in the .classpath generation. 
therefore : 
1: add boolean property to EclipsePlugin : ignoreDeps
2: add boolean property to EclipseWriterConfig : ignoreDeps
3: in M2EclipseMojo>>setupExtra() : 
  - //setResolveDependencies( false );
  - setIgnoreDeps(true);
4: in EclipsePlugin>>createEclipseWriterConfig(IdeDependency[]) : 
  - call config.setIgnoreDeps(isIgnoreDeps());
5: in EclipseClasspathWriter>>write() : 
  - test against if (!config.isIgnoreDeps()) around lines 348 to 387 in order 
to skip writing of M2_REPO... dependencies

Tested here, works like a charm
