Which is why I have been suggesting two things - use subversion to partition the projects so that all IDEs can take advantage of it - modify the maven build so that it creates the workspace At present your suggestion will only ever work on eclipse and there are a number of people who do not use eclipse. If we start pushing this back into a generic jboss project then we can start having this generated automatically and support other IDEs at the same time. We could even extend this to include any formatting/code verification rules. Deployment could then become simply - mvn co https://svn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/microcontainer/trunk/view/st... - mvn -PbuildEclipseWorkspace - run eclipse (or something similar) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4034644#...
