Is this project still active ? #13

@padyx, @jmini

I see unanswered issues or PR and project activity sounds very low. That makes me feel that maybe this project is dying ? Am I right ? If yes, it's too bad... :cry: is there any reason about that ?

For configuring the eclipse workspace I would recommend to have a look here https://github.com/devonfw/ide#devonfw-ide

For configuring the projects beyond m2e I currently do not know any reasonable alternative. However, feel free to file an issue in devonfw-ide and I might implement it for you...

Hope this helps anybody - did not want to lure anybody away from this plugin. In case it is still maintained it is surely the best choice on top of m2e.

I was looking at a project like this one to replace my maven-eclipse-plugin usage. I finally found a solution for my specific use case based on maven-resources-plugin. (see for more details : https://github.com/eclipse/leshan/pull/786)

It exists an active fork of this project or a kind of alternative reusable-ide-preferences (not so active too)

I still think this kind of project could be useful and it's too bad it is not active anymore. Some interesting features like :

I try to see if m2e could be interested to revive the project but no answer on this part.

Hello @sbernard31 First, thanks for your merge request and interest in this project.

This project is a bit dormant since most of our use cases are covered at the moment, and not many people are available with knowledge in both Maven and Eclipse at the required depth.

I'll try to get around to reviewing (and testing) your merge request, but I cannot give you an estimate at this time.

Keep in touch with @glhez who sounds very active :)
