btw the same project interdependecies resolution is done in mevenide for netbeans (both for m1 and m2) since that one is an IDE plugin, not maven plugin, it allows to dynamically change the jar/project linking on project open/close. for example if I work on mevenide, then maven dependencies are onl

Ok.. after some thought I need to reevaluate my opinion on this. I have now played a little with the eclipse plugin, and well.. i must admit that i like the way it behaves. So using project references for projects in the same reactor build where the version of the project in the reactor, and the v

My mistake You are right Mark. So it seems like the eclipse plugin does it alot like what Brett are describing.. But again.. this is to automagically for me ;) On 14/11/05, Mark Hobson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The eclipse plugin *does* create different project files depending on > where it's

The eclipse plugin *does* create different project files depending on where it's run. It uses project references if the other projects are within the reactor build. It's also very particular regarding versions, as this thread details: http://www.nabble.com/eclipse%3Aeclipse-and-direct-project-re

In my opinion a plugin after configured in the module pom (or a parent) should beh

Yes, I definitely agree with that. This discussion should be about the default, but be configurable. So, you say the eclipse plugin does well - is it the same or different to the idea plugin as I described it? - Brett Kaare Nilsen wrote: Then supply good default behaviour (where i really do

In my opinion, giving the choise to the individual developer would be the best solution. When plugins tries to get "too smart" they often fail, and a lot of discussions appear. It should not be the responsibility of the plugin writer to tell people how they must manage their IDE's projects. Rather

2005-11-13 Thread Brett Porter
Hi, Can we discuss how to make the ide plugins behave consistently? It appears that, in particular, there are a lot of discussions about Eclipse and direct project references, and as I'm not a user I don't really follow them - but I'm concerned that they might be arriving at a different solut
