Fred Bricon commented on JBIDE-16343:
-------------------------------------

The thing is this feature is not linked/tied to Maven. It can take *any* classpath container aka classpath library (gradle, ivy, junit, whatever ...) and extract its jars. Calling them dependencies doesn't fit either as it should have a more generic name (jars? classpath entries?). 

Burr : the term "library" here corresponds to what you see in Eclipse's Project Properties > Java Build Path > Libraries > Add Library... So it's completely coherent.

> While looking at [~fbricon] doing a demo I (and [~FroMage] and [~xcoulon]) felt that "Materialize Libraries" is not a clear name for what it does.
> Why not renaming it to "Copy libraries into Project..." or "Turn into Libraries inside project..." ?
