Eclipse Juno - Maven support
The new Eclipse build 4.2 (Eclipse Juno) is out and I started using it for my own Maven based Java EE projects. After playing around with several plugins concerning the maven integration, I came to the conclusion that the Maven-WTP integration in Eclipse is still something you did not need and you should not use. It slows down my complete workspace containing different multi-module maven projects. Maybe its only my IDE installation of Eclipse 4.2, but I recognised a permanent CPU peak as result of a never ending WTP Builder process. After I removed the "Maven Integration for WTP" Eclipse Juno works again very fast.
So here is my recommendation for plugins that you should install in Eclipse 4.2 (Classic) if you are developing Maven based Java EE projects:
- JavaServer Faces Tools (JSF) Project (for JSF/Faclets support - much better than in Eclipse 3.7)
- JST Server Adapters (for GlassFish Server Adapters - see also my blog about GlassFish 3.2 support)
- m2e - Maven Integration for Eclipse (the general and pure maven integration)
- Subversive Integration for the M2Eclipse Project (necessary if you work with SVN - see another blog entry)
And do not install the "Maven Integration for WTP" plugin.
If you are looking for a simple Hotdeployment Plugin for Eclipse/GlassFish take a look at Manik hot-deploy.
