Hi folks, please have a look at ... https://marketplace.yatta.de/profiles/Es3Y

M2e dev env setup page [1] is reasonably up to date. Maybe you didn't let m2e install tycho project configurator?

No, it went through the connector installation.

When I first did this, I wasn't aware of these instructions you cite, so I did this again with these instructions in mind, using a fresh Eclipse Mars.2 install and a new workspace.

When I first searched for the m2e codebase, I found it on github at "https://github.com/eclipse/m2e-core".  I notice that these instructions refer to "git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/m2e/m2e-core". I diffed these two, and I think they're identical.

Nevertheless, after cloning the two specified repos, it then says "import org.eclipse.m2e.workspace, m2e-core and m2e-core-tests as existing maven projects".  Looking at the two github repos I just cloned according to the instructions, I don't find "org.eclipse.m2e.workspace" anywhere.

Nevertheless, for whatever reason, I didn't see the same symptom here.  When it seemed to finish processing, all the Java projects were recognized as Java projects.

Note that I did see compile errors about "EasymportJob cannot be resolved to a type" in the "importer" project, but from a quick internet search, it seems like that's a recent issue, and I don't care about that at this point, so I'm fine with this for now.

I'd like to get acquainted with the m2e codebase, initially for a
somewhat trivial reason, as I know it does something simple with its POM
editor view that I plan to implement in a different plugin.  At some
point in the future, however, I'd like to work on some possible
enhancements to make it a tiny bit easier for "other" kinds of
developers to create projects that are Maven projects, without having to
deal with some details.

Is there a "Developer's Guide" that describes how to properly configure
the cloned repo in Eclipse for navigating and editing? I've imported all
the Maven projects, but what I noticed is that Eclipse doesn't know they
are Java projects.  Is there something simple I have to do for that?
