[jbossdeveloper] Error importing BRMS Quickstarts to JBDS

[Fred Bricon]

I have never encountered that plugin before, looks like John wrote it, so if I say something stupid he can correct me.

m2e doesn’t know whether it’s safe to execute or to ignore that plugin in the context of an Eclipse build.
Quickly looking at [1], I would say assembling the project sources is irrelevant to building an app and deploy it *from Eclipse*. So I would say it’s safe to ignore it. But that really depends on the project. I don’t know if it _needs_ it’s sources to be deployed at runtime.

If it’s actually safe to ignore, you have 3 options :
- mark as ignore in pom.xml : you need to do that in each and every quickstart project, but you guarantee your users won’t see an error on import
- mark as ignore in Eclipse : you need to do that once per workspace, but this has to be a user action. You can only document that step in each quickstart
- ask John to add a META-INF/m2e/lifecycle-mapping-metadata.xml file  in his plugin [2], so that m2e will safely ignore it by default, with any further pom.xml meddling

As a general rule, I would say that yes, you should try to avoid using non-standard, unsupported maven plugins in Eclipse. You’ll run into less trouble.
If you can’t avoid it, then adding the lifecycle-mapping in the pom (provided it’s safe) will guarantee your users won’t see any errors.
