[m2e-dev] M2E connectors discovery

[Aleksandar Kurtakov <akurtako@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I had a chat with Mickael Istria about slow/heavy discovery mechanism and he told me that instead of putting special configs in pom.xml to silence warnings or create connectors best approach is to fix/improve maven plugins directly ( https://www.eclipse.org/m2e/documentation/m2e-making-maven-plugins-compat.html ). So here is the list of plugins not integrating in M2E from setting up my Platform, Tycho and CBI development environment:

maven-plugin-plugin
maven-checkstyle-plugin
tycho-eclipserun-plugin
eclipse-cbi-plugin
maven-bundle-plugin
maven-clean-plugin
maven-dependency-plugin
plexus-component-metadata
tycho-compiler-plugin
tycho-packaging-plugin

Hopefully we can reduce this list for March release.
