Re: [mevenide-user] mveneide is more like an island in netbean ?

Hi,

How did you compare them????

At work, we are using maven and eclipse together using the maven  
eclipse plugin for about two years now to  
generate .project, .classpath ....
... and I hate it!  There is no integration into the eclipse ide, the  
generated files are not in the right shape and the project structure  
in eclipse prevents you from using the release plugin for releasing a  
whole project. And if you use resource filters in maven, the eclipse  
plugin generates ant scripts for "pimping" the eclipse ide.

Just one thing: Add a library to your project which has a dependency  
you do not want; for instance commons-logging and you do not want the  
log4j library on your classpath because you do not need it sticking  
with the jdk logging framework.

eclipse: You have to search the whole dependency graph (generating the  
site or using the dependency plugin) to search for the library which  
includes the dependency. If found, you have to add an exclude  
statement to it
netbeans: Just select the library in the project and choose exclude.  
That's it!

For me, the mevenide in netbeans is heaven while maven and eclipse is  
the worst integration I have ever seen. The mevenide is not yet  
feature complete, but it is on the way! You can see this if you look  
how it is integrated. In eclipse, you define external command, in  
netbeans the ant based build system is replaced with maven. That's a  
true integration!

Cyrill
