| tools and set of tools and user interface elements directly |
| consumable by Eclipse Users.</p><div> |
| <p>As a framework, M2E provides facilities to import and configure |
| Maven projects in Eclipse workspace as well as APIs that allow |
| m2e extensions to access Maven project metadata and participate in |
| Maven project configuration and workspace build.</p> |
| </div><div> |
| For the end user, M2E provides: |
| <ul> |
| <li>wizards to import existing and to create new Maven projects |
| </li> |
| <li>rich form-based and text-based pom.xml file editor</li> |
| <li>launch configuration type to launch Maven build directly |
| from Eclipse IDE |
| </li> |
| <li>access Maven repository index to browse repository contents |
| and in various code-assist |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| </div><p>Extensible JDT integration is provided by M2E as well.</p><h2><a name="release_deliverables">Release Deliverables</a></h2><ul> |
| <li>feature to be installed into an Eclipse IDE installation using |
| an update site. |
| </li> |
| </ul><p><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></p><h2><a name="release_milestones">Release Milestones</a></h2><p> |
| Release milestones will be occurring at roughly 6 week |

| train. |

| requirement of Java SE 5 or better VM. |
| </p><h3>Internationalization</h3> |
| <p>All m2e user interface elements are externalized, but only |
| English strings are provided as the default resource |
| bundles. |

| m2eclipse releases |
| </h3><p> |
| <strong>API Contract Compatibility:</strong> |
| To comply with Eclipse Foundation requirements, all m2e java package |
| and extension points have been moved to org.eclipse.m2e |
| namespace. No compatibility layer will be provided for consumers |
| of earlier versions of m2eclipse. |
| </p><p> |
| <strong>Workspace Compatibility:</strong> |
| No migration will be provided for workspaces created with earlier |
| versions of m2eclipse. Sharing of the same workspace with m2e |
| 0.13.0 and earlier versions of m2eclipse will not be supported. |
| The users are expected to start with new workspace and import |
| their projects using "Existing Maven Projects" import wizard. |

| <li> |
| <strong>Metadata driven lifecycle mapping.</strong> |
| M2E will define lifecycle mapping metadata format and |
| mechanisms to embed mapping metadata in project pom.xml |
| files, share mapping metadata among multiple related |
| projects and provide mapping metadata via Eclipse extension |
| point. |
| </li> |
| </ul></li></ul><ul><li><b>Proposed</b><ul> |
| <li> |
| <strong>Public lifecycle mapping API.</strong> |
| </li> |
| </ul></li></ul><h3>Discovery and installation of extensions</h3><ul><li><b>Committed</b><ul> |
| <strong>Find and install required extension.</strong> |
| M2E will only support limited number of standard Maven plugins |
| out of the box, while support for other Maven plugins is |
| expected to be provided by thirdparty extension. M2E will |
| provide discovery mechanism that will help users find and |
| install extensions required to support their projects. |
| </ul></li></ul><h3>Better pom.xml editor</h3><ul><li><b>Committed</b><p>TBD</p></li></ul><h3>Stay current with Maven technologies</h3><ul><li><b>Committed</b><ul> |
| <li> |
| <strong>Include latest released Maven version</strong> |
| Maven is an active opensource project with new release |
| produced at roughly six weeks intervals. To maintain parity |
| with bugfixes and new features available to command line |
| Maven users, m2e will include latest Maven version available |
| in time for Ingigo release. We will work with Maven core |
| developers to align m2e and maven release schedules. |

| </ul></li></ul><ul><li><b>Proposed</b><ul> |

| </ul></li></ul><ul><li><b>Proposed</b><ul> |
