In an older version of Eclipse, the number of which I can’t remember, there was an option when right-clicking a project under Run As of Maven Package.
In Springsource Tool Suite 2.9.0 built on Eclipse 3.7.2, this option is no longer there. I could create specific run configurations per project to quickly do a Maven package, but I found it rather handy having the one shortcut for doing a package no matter which project was selected without having to set it all up first.
Is there a way to get this option back?
If you prefer the features of the old m2eclipse, you can revert using the STS extensions page. Open up the STS dashboard and click on the extensions page at the bottom. Scroll down until you see the “m2eclipse” entry. Installing this, will uninstall m2eclipse v1.0 and install m2eclipse v0.13.
