Siarhei Dudzin commented on JBIDE-1322:
---------------------------------------

Essentially both maven-eclipse-plugin and m2eclipse plugins (there are also other but those 2 are most used IMHO) are trying to reach the same thing - make standard wtp 2 facets work by arranging dependencies correctly (including for hot deployment). 
I think maven-eclipse-plugin is much closer to achieving the goal. It's difference with m2eclipse plugin is that it's not eclipse plugin at all (it is a maven plugin) - it allows to configure project settings including project natures and project facets (which I think exactly what JBoss Tools need?) in a pom. It allows to configure quite a lot except that the current version doesn't support generation wtp 2 specifric settings. (only upto wtp 1.5). Here is the list of properties that is possible to configure: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-eclipse-plugin/eclipse-mojo.html

m2eclipse plugin may be a bigger concern as it is another eclipse plugin ant it tries to arrange dependencies in a container (imho, it is also further away from supporting WTP 2).

However in both cases if and when those plugins start supporting wtp 2 from JBoss Tools point of view it all should (theoretically) come down to supporting absolutely valid WTP 2 project with non-default (but legal) directory and dependencies structure. This is of course speculation at this point as there is no support yet. But it would be nice to support at least one project than not to support at all. 

Right now 'mavenized' projects are pretty much closed for JBoss Tools except for the excellent jsf/facelets/richfaces editors that don't really require certain layouts.

p.s. MavenIDE is another project and considering the 'last published' date on their site I am not sure how active it is (although there are updates in JIRA) so I dont know much about it.

> I have Seam 2.0 assigned to a project that was created not by seam-gen (a maven web wtp project). While trying to create a form I after filling parameters I am getting an error. The eclipse logs show the following:
