I am using the maven-eclipse-plugin to configure my eclipse workspace with the configure-workspace goal

  • 0

I am using the maven-eclipse-plugin to configure my eclipse workspace with the configure-workspace goal of the plugin.

I need to perform some additional setup within the workspace that standard eclipse plugins do not appear to accomplish. Setup MAVEN_HOME and setup an external build tool for example. I have some corporately built plugins that can perform these tasks. What I would like to do is bind the execution of this plugin to the execution of eclipse:workspace-configure.

I have tried to do this by:

<executions>
  <execution>
    <goals>
      <goal>eclipse:configure-workspace</goal>
    </goals>
  </execution>
</executions>

But have had no luck. Is this possible?

    I am using the maven-eclipse-plugin to configure my eclipse workspace with the configure-workspace goal of the plugin.

    The goal eclipse:configure-workspace doesn’t do much things, it just adds the classpath variable M2_REPO to Eclipse.

    What I would like to do is bind the execution of this plugin to the execution of eclipse:workspace-configure

    Not possible, you can only bind a plugin goal to a phase. Your best option is IMO to create an init script that would call the goals sequentially.
