[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-13698) Build As submenu

[Burr Sutter (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-13698?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12775573#comment-12775573 ] 

Burr Sutter commented on JBIDE-13698:
-------------------------------------

So the choices are:
- consistency - keeping all options in a poorly chosen location
- more intuitive - raising the build task to the same level as Run/Debug

I am guessing other IDEs have "build" front & center because they do not necessary constantly compile in the background the way Eclipse does.

> This is a usability issue - new users to Eclipse struggle with finding the "mvn package" or "mvn install" options hidden in the JBDS menu.  Having those under Run As is simply not intuitive. Not too mention that there is a Maven menu, that does not have the build options - which would have been slightly more intuitive.
> One proposal is a Build As menu - where I can issue my various mvn commands.
