Eugene Kuleshov commented on JBIDE-3874:
----------------------------------------

Snjezana, the m2eclipse currently does not support the custom wizards. However you can create an appropriate pom.xml for the project created by your wizard and then call m2eclipse API to configure it for Maven support, so it will take care of adding builders, natures as well as other facets. Also, if you may not be able to use multiple classpath containers configured by some facets together with Maven integration (because classpath is managed by Maven and those classes need to be in the pom.xml, so one can build project from the command line).

Please also note that creating new project is not the only scenario when you need to configure project. We have list of use cases on the wiki page for configuration framework. For example, one could try to import an existing Maven project from local file system or checkout from the version control and in this case you will have to plug into the project configuration framework, so m2eclipse will delegate to your custom project configurator to enable functionality specific to jboss tools.

I should also say that currently the faceted framework is only supported in Eclipse configuration that has the WTP, but there is configurations that may not have WTP pieces (and may not even require JDT), so we had to make the project configuration framework in m2eclipse more generic. So, Maven support is somewhat orthogonal to facets.

> It is time to make sure our stuff works well with Maven, at least to the extent that the underline runtimes support it.
> First shot would be to add an adapter that allows m2eclipse controlled projects to activate the seam features.
> That would allow us still to bundle JBoss Tools without any dependencies to m2eclipse which still seem to drag in non-compatible plugins which we need to look into before tying us to m2eclipse.
