I’m interested in working on something like that;)

I’ll check it out. I was basing the ‘extension’ usage off of what the Checkstyle plugin was recommending (http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-checkstyle-plugin/customize.html).

Thanks for the tips Brian.

Rather than putting resources in the project as an extension, you should either place them as a dependency of the plugin that requires them, or use the dependency plugin to unpack them for use in your project. I wrote a how-to here: http://blogs.sonatype.com/brian/2008/04/17/1208485500000.html
and here:

Thanks Jason.

Although I don’t use Eclipse, I should note that I’m a fan of the new ‘mvn archetype:generate’. My only problem was that the Seam archetype listed there is dated, and there’s still debate within the user community on what the preferred structure should look like.

I take it that the m2eclipse archetype integration is somewhat similar, just all nice and packaged in the UI?

Cheers!

A note to anyone that uses Maven Archetypes: if the archetypes are deployed to Maven Central then the Nexus indexer will pick them up, and will therefore be made available to users of m2eclipse’s (m2eclipse.sonatype.org) new Maven project wizard automatically. No hunting around for archetypes, they are just presented in a list to the user when they create new Maven projects in Eclipse.
