The ant auto builder [1] does hands-off maven by calling 'mvn
process-sources'. This always
executes the mvn copy-dependencies goal so bringing in the
dependencies [2]. It has always been
essential that any process happening while developing in Eclipse must
also occur when building on
the command line through maven. This is an example of that with the
ant providing the plumbing
between Eclipse and maven.
..isn't that what the tycho-m2 plugin does for you ?
