[m2e-dev] New m2e catalog has been staged

[Fred Bricon <fbricon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

a new version of the m2e catalog has been staged, for m2e 1.1 users. It can be tested by adding the following in your eclipse.ini (after the -vmargs line) : 

-Dm2e.discovery.url="" href="http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/discovery/directory-test-1.1.xml">http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/discovery/directory-test-1.1.xml

The staged catalog contains these new entries : 

* m2e-apt (annotation processing support) : https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=380147 (must be enabled explicitely in the workspace preferences under Maven > Annotation Processing)

* m2e-jdt-compiler (support for compilerId=eclipse|jdt) :https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=370983

* m2e-wro4j (support for maven-wro4j-plugin)  : https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=373129  

Jason Van Zyl has been hard at work enhancing the catalog build and publish workflow. Eventually, catalog updates should be easier and more frequent in the future.

The test catalog will be staged for 2 days. On friday, we'll roll it out for m2e 1.0 and 1.1. Thanks to Jason, the releases will be hosted on Maven Central, known for its outstanding uptime.

Regards,

Fred Bricon
