[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-16757) move m2e.jdt.feature from JBDS TP to Central TP and expose as connector in Central Discovery site?

[Fred Bricon (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16757?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12959643#comment-12959643 ] 

Fred Bricon commented on JBIDE-16757:
-------------------------------------

As a reminder :
* m2e.jdt.feature = enable projects to configure maven-compiler-plugin to use compilerId=jdt
* maven.jdt.feature = extends m2e/JDT integration by adding support for Endorsed Library, added to a project classpath before anything else

 m2e.jdt.feature doesn't need to be in the TP (none of  our other plugins depend on it), it would be more appropriate to install it from JBoss Central, for both JBT and JBDS.

So yeah, +1 for adding it as a central connector instead

> Currently, we include m2e.jdt.feature (an m2e-extension) in the JBDS TP, but not the JBT one.

>     <!-- NOTE: m2e-extension m2e.jdt.feature is only in JBDS BYOE / installer (unlike maven.jdt.feature, which is part of jbosstools-central and is therefore in BOTH JBT & JBDS update sites) -->

> Since this is useful to JBT users and JBDS users alike, we could consider moving this from the JBDS TP into the Central TP and exposing it as a new Central Discovery connector.
