    Hi everybody,

    I have tried the Apple Maven plug-in, but I don't have success because
    of the version of m2eclipse. As Quinton advised me, I must use an
    older version of this plug-in. Can anyone confirm which version of
    m2eclipse should I use?

    I have used an old version of m2eclipse (before the current 0.9.x)
    some time ago and it really sucks. I think it is not a good idea to
    provide a plug-in for Maven integration based on this version (if this
    is the case).

    I have also realized (only seeing code and tutorials) the plug-in
    allow the configuration of "remote repository". Is it really
    necessary? I've seem some problems in the way this feature are being
    provided:

    1) You have to make this configuration for every WO project. Why not
    using the settings.xml?

    2) Advises users to use WebServer or other mechanisms as a repository
    instead of a Repository Manager or the local repository itself.

    3) This feature should be (and I think it will be) addressed by
    m2eclipse. There is a high probability of this effort turns into waste
    of time in a near future.

    4) Creates an unnecessary profile.xml file.

    Before I forget, the wizards are very cool. :) It makes the startup
    for new users smoother.

    I want to contribute to this effort to make Maven integrate better
    with WebObjects and WOLips. But it is difficult without information
    and planning. Can anyone share some details about the subject?

    Cheers,

    Henrique
