[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-15132) Have Maven projects automatically apply project defined code style, formatting and templates

[Max Rydahl Andersen (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-15132?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12787696#comment-12787696 ] 

Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-15132:
---------------------------------------------

I believe we've had similar requests before - its most likely technically possible but the issue here is that these settings are at workspace level for JDT; and not something that can be shared between projects easily (you either have global settings or individual per project...) 

But its worth taking a serious look and see if something is doable IMO.

> Very often we need to re-import Maven projects, and m2 reconfigures it *almost* all correctly. Latest Eclipse even auto-shares the git repository, which solved one very annoying and repetitive step, but there is one left:
> most of our projects use a custom formatting rule, code cleanup rules, and templates to generate some common elements like the project specific copyright headers.
> For example Hibernate recommends to download three files from:
> https://community.jboss.org/wiki/ContributingToHibernateUsingEclipse
> these need to be imported in eclipse, and applied to each project.
> Nowadays I need to re-apply these each and every time M2 needs to reconfigure the project; it would be absolutely amazing if I could commit these three files in the project and refer to them from my pom.xml?
> We already have something like that working for checkstyle: m2 detects the need to download a plugin, and applies the custom rules. But that's not enough.
> Benefit:
> not just our own time, but also make life of each and every occasional contributor much easier to get started.
