--------------------------------------------------------------
I totally understand the issue I guess we could contribute a "Build As..." menu
in JBT/JBDS, but :
* historically, all build tools contribute to the "Run As..." menu (ant, maven,
gradle ...), so it'll be inconsistent with the general Eclipse Experience
* we'd have duplicate menu entries as Maven will still have its entries under
"Run As..."
* we can't force other tools to contribute their stuff to our "Build As..."
entry
This would better be addressed at the Eclipse IDE level, IMO. But I know trying to change
things there is a real challenge.

URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-13698
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: maven
Reporter: Burr Sutter
Assignee: Fred Bricon
Fix For: 4.1.0.Beta2
Attachments: Screen Shot 2013-03-01 at 8.03.01 AM.png
This is a usability issue - new users to Eclipse struggle with finding the "mvn
package" or "mvn install" options hidden in the JBDS menu. Having those
under Run As is simply not intuitive. Not too mention that there is a Maven menu, that
does not have the build options - which would have been slightly more intuitive.
One proposal is a Build As menu - where I can issue my various mvn commands.
