Fred Bricon resolved JBIDE-11738.
---------------------------------

        Labels: new_and_noteworthy  (was: )
    Resolution: Done


Fixed in trunk.

During project configuration, if the endorsed directories are missing, an Error Marker is added at the maven-compiler-plugin location in pom.xml. 
If there's a maven-dependency-plugin:copy goal defined in a plugin execution, then a quick fix will be available for the error marker, basically proposing the user to run mvn <phase_executing_dependency_copy>. After that goal is run, the  project configuration is updated, effectively adding the Endorsed Libraries to project classpath.

Please note that the maven-dependency-plugin execution is still  not covered by m2e (this goes beyond the scope of this JIRA), thus requires custom lifecycle mapping (see http://wiki.eclipse.org/M2E_plugin_execution_not_covered)

Finally, adding an action menu on "Endorsed Libraries" to automatically execute the dependency:copy thing (similar to what the quick fix does), can be dealt with a new feature enhancement request.
