The value is in having a plugin that integrates with basic maven-functionality well (per-module classpath and source folders) rather than replicating what's available as maven plugins. <br /><br />I'm not sure about maintenance activity though. (I'm not affiliated with either m2eclise or q4e.)<br />Eclipse claims to have "eclipsified" q4e as "Eclipse IAM" and the latest release is from 2009-05-06.<br /><br />I believe Netbeans is on the right track with maven integration - it's only using the POM for describing the project. This has other disadvantages though, like not being able to share warning-levels with the rest of the team.henchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12672501240560659585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088482399688345277.post-27976602313164993232009-06-20T18:53:12.362-06:002009-06-20T18:53:12.362-06:00I tried q4e quite a while back and it didn't h...I tried q4e quite a while back and it didn't have nearly the features that m2e has. I also thought that q4e wasn't being actively developed anymore.Bruce Snyderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18285794923769241032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088482399688345277.post-17200910310912264582009-06-20T18:48:00.844-06:002009-06-20T18:48:00.844-06:00After having used m2eclipse for the past two years...After having used m2eclipse for the past two years I recently switched to q4e (http://code.google.com/p/q4e/), I find it substantially more stable when handling big projects. It works especially well with sub-modules as individual eclipse projects. No more "out of memory"-dialogs in eclipse, and the progress bar for "building workspace" don't stall at 8%. <br /><br />Just my $0.02. Definitely worth trying out.henchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12672501240560659585noreply@blogger.com
