---------------------------------------------------------------

Currently the JBoss Maven Facet is installed explicitely in all our m2e configurators. 
I believe it'd be more appropriate to install that facet automatically in a FacetListener, once the Java or EAR Facet is installed and the project has the Maven nature.

> The JBoss Maven Facet has been used to :
> - convert projects to Maven
> - add new dependencies to an existing Maven project (by acting as a Library provider)
> The conversion part has been superceded (mostly) by m2e's conversion API.
> The way the Maven facet acts (not on its own but in support of other Facets, Seam most notably) is pretty ugly (storing Facets models in a MavenPostInstallListener), potentially leading to memory leaks.
> The project conversion bit needs to be revisited, see how m2e's conversion API could be leveraged.
> All in all, I'm convinced the whole Maven Facet programming model need a facelift. This issue is opened to discuss what we need to do and how to implement that.
