[mevenide-user] call for action: test the upcoming new version 3.1

Hello everybody,

I'd like to ask you to become beta testers for the new 3.1 version of
mevenide. It's packed with new features, includes many fixes..
Some highlights:
1. remote repository browsing and in general incorporating remote
repositories content in the UI
2. latest 2.1-SNAPSHOT maven embedder bundled, most problems caused by
the old embedder should be gone.
3. j2ee integration improved - deployment of ears, webframeworks can
be added to maven projects.
4. the maven build can be examined visually in terms of browsing what
gets executed. (new action on output window toolbar)
5. alternate configurations for action mappings, allow to load the
project with some profiles activated.
6.probably more and more stuff I can't recall right now.

Testing it out is really easy.

Installing the bits is really easy.
1. download the 6.1 RC (well, 6.0 final would do as well)
2. download the zip file with maven support nbm files from
http://deadlock.netbeans.org/hudson/job/mevenide/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/mevenide-AU-SNAPSHOT.zip
3. start the IDE, preferably with the --userdir <temp location> switch
to to be on the safe side..
4. install the nbm files from the zip via Tools/Plugins dialog
(Downloaded tab). That should be it.

I'm interested in bug reports, comments on usability, general rants.
However I'd like to push the bits to the default netbeans update
center for 6.0 and 6.1 in a week or two, so I'm primarily looking for
showstoppers. The upgrade to new maven embedder should fix old
problems but could have introduced new ones. I'd like make sure all or
most projects load correctly. The more complex setup you have the
better.

Regards and thanks..

Milos
