[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-6214) Support project example with no Eclipse metadata, only pom.xml, in zip

Snjezana Peco commented on JBIDE-6214:
--------------------------------------
Snjezana, the use case is that those doing the examples would want to
use some automated way of generating .project/.classpath files and the
closest tool for that is mvn eclipse:eclipse but that is not really what we would like
for Maven projects since m2eclipse would/should be the one
generating the proper metadata.
maven-eclipse-plugin is deprecated. You can import a maven project using
Import>Maven>Existing Maven Projects
Can we autodetect how the import should be done for a project (i.e.
if .project > import Eclipse project, if no .project and pom.xml import Maven
Project, etc.) and possibly have a flag to control this in the project example xml ?
We can, but in that case, project examples would depend on m2eclipse.
Still without requiring the user to have Maven plugins installed...in
that case these non-metadata projects would just be treated as normal eclipse >
projects I would expect.
We couldn't avoid a dependency to m2eclipse if we would like to add this
functionality. However, we could easily create a project example based on a maven
project:
- import a maven project using Import>Maven>Existing Maven Projects
- archive the project using Export>General>Archive File
- add an entry to the project-examples.xml file
Support project example with no Eclipse metadata, only pom.xml, in
zip

Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: project-examples
Affects Versions: 3.1.0.GA

Fix For: 3.2.next
If projects want to incorporate producing project examples into their release process,
they are likely not to have any valid eclipse metadata available for the example when
using Maven.
