Re: [m2e-dev] m2e 1.3.1 is released 
... and corresponding tags pushed to git.eclipse.org too, so anyone can
run the diff if the wanted to.

Fred, is there a way to see the differences between 1.3.0 and 1.3.1?

Hi

m2e 1.3(.1) is available from the m2e release repository. See [1] for
the usual installation instructions.

m2e 1.3 focuses on bringing new APIs to be consumed by 3rd party adopters :
* New APIs to better control the project conversion to Maven experience
   - Added new <conversionParticipantConfiguration> extension point to
explicitely request ProjectConversionParticipant invocation per
packaging type (For Jan and Tobias ;-))
   - Added a new ConversionEnabler, providing the ability to preselect
the packaging type during project conversion
   - exclude project conversion participants for certain projects
   - Added new attributes to order project conversion participants
execution
* Added new API for Runtime classpath resolution of dependencies
referenced with classifiers (fixes some ejb-client resolution issues in
m2e-wtp)
* Introduced a new ResolverConfiguration#lifecycleMappingId attribute,
if specified, the corresponding ILifecycleMapping will be used
regardless of any other lifecycle mapping metadata
* Introduced a new flavor of AbstractProjectConfigurator#addNature that
accepts updateFlags parameter that allows finer control over new nature
creation.
* Added new AbstractJavaProjectConfigurator#getOutputLocation method to
provide better extensibility

The following behaviors changed in m2e 1.3
* The behavior for <execute/> mapping of maven plugins has been changed
to runOnIncremental=false by default, to prevent random build loops
* The JDT conversion participant is now restricted to the “jar”
packaging by default. 3rd party adopters need to explicitely request the
maven-compiler-plugin to be configured, via an extension point

Regular m2e users will probably appreciate :
* some slight improvements made on the archetype selection page
* import wizard now allows the (de)selection of individual projects

See the changelog for everything fixed in the 1.3 version[2].

Since a number of new APIs were introduced in m2e 1.3, we decided to use
a separate discovery catalog, to prevent users from installing
incompatible m2e extensions in previous 1.1 & 1.2 versions.
Unfortunately, some build issues prevented us from getting that catalog
ready before the Juno SR2 aggregator build picked m2e 1.3.0 up. For that
reason the Juno SR2 distributions and canonical juno p2 repository embed
version 1.3.0. m2e 1.3.0 points at the "old" 1.1 discovery catalog.
The m2e 1.3.1 version that is available today points at a new 1.3
discovery catalog.

The discovery catalog used in m2e can be manually changed by editing
your eclipse.ini and adding the -Dm2e.discovery.url parameter


-vmargs
...
...
-Dm2e.discovery.url=_http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/discovery/directory-1.3.xml_
<http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/discovery/directory-test-1.1.xml>
You'll probably notice the new 1.3 catalog contains significantly less
entries than the previous version. m2e extensions owner need to make
sure their plugins are compatible with m2e 1.3 and request a catalog
update in BZ. This time I should be able to take some time to work on
the catalog requests backlog.

As usual please report any bugs to bugzilla[3]

Finally I'd like to give some kudos to Marcos and Roberto from IBM who
contributed a number of patches for this release, keep it up guys ;-)

Fred
