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

[Sanne Grinovero (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-15132?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12787707#comment-12787707 ] 

Sanne Grinovero commented on JBIDE-15132:
-----------------------------------------

couldn't it take the resources from a parent?
Ideally if it could take them from a resource, we'd eventually converge all hibernate projects to use a single jar file containing common resources, we're already working on that for checkstyle rules.

I never committed the eclipse projects specific settings because I assume there are many other configuration aspects which should not be fixed/shared.. am I wrong? Either way, that looks ugly and IDEA fans won't like me committing those.

> 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.
