[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBSEAM-2026) Maven archetypes

[ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2026?page=com.atlassian.jira.pl... ] Neil Crow commented on JBSEAM-2026: ----------------------------------- The maven archetypes shouldn't be aware of which IDE is to be used. They should generate the maven project structure and fill in the dependencies in the pom. Once the maven project has been created, the developer should cd to the project directory and then use the maven plugins to generate their IDE files, e.g. mvn eclipse:eclipse or mvn idea:idea These maven plugins should be responsible for generating the metadata that best supports the IDE. These plugins will read the pom to calculate the classpath requirements and other settings, it may be necessary for the archetypes mentioned above to add additional information to the pom that can be used by the IDE plugins to fine tune their configuration. However any information added to the pom should preferably be ignorant of the IDE that is going to be used. Often the IDE files (.project and .classpath) are not committed to the source control repository for maven projects as they can be generated. There are also tools available that will generate these files as part of the checkout process.
