Anything to do with Eclipse and Maven Integration.
Including, but not limited to:
- Maven user's perspective: setting up an Eclipse Project derived from Maven's pom.xml
- Maven developer's perspective: debugging Maven in Eclipse
- Eclipse developer 's perspective: creating Eclipse artifacts (plugins, fragments, features, products, update sites, etc) via Maven
And any discussions needed to work out the design of how to get all this done and work with existing communities to pull this all together

Maven developer
Debug Maven using Standalone Maven install
First of all you need to get corresponding Maven projects into the Eclipse workspace.
To debug Maven standalone Maven CLI you can set the following environment variable:
Then start Maven as usual and attach remote debugger to Maven process on port 8000 using Eclipse's "Remote Java Application" configuration.
Alternatively you could create the following "Java Application" launch configuration and launch it directly from Eclipse:
Main class |
org.codehaus.classworlds.Launcher |
classpath |
%M2_HOME%\boot\classworlds-1.1.jar |
VM arguments |
-Dclassworlds.conf=%M2_HOME%\bin\m2.conf |
Program arguments |
<maven cli arguments> |
Debug Maven using m2eclipse
With m2eclipse you can debug Maven core and Maven plugins while running goals using m2eclipse's "Maven Build" external tools launch configuration (or from Run As / Maven * shortcut from the popup menus). Simply put a break point in the corresponding classes and switch to the Debugger perspective.
You can also configure Maven surefire plugin to not fork new JVM to run tests and then you can even debug test classes launched using "Run As / Maven test" shortcut:
