Question: maven plugin and m2e Eclipse plugin about rocker HOT 10 OPEN

@jjlauer In theory you can easily make the rocker maven plugin compatible with m2e (eclipse maven) without requiring library consumers to do the configuration that @jknack did by just following these instructions: https://www.eclipse.org/m2e/documentation/m2e-making-maven-plugins-compat.html#mapping

The m2e plugin basically looks for similar XML to the build section of @jknack pom via a ServiceLocator-like pattern.

Hi @jjlauer

Well I'm kind of new to m2e too (not Eclipse). M2e given me the following error:

Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: com.fizzed:rocker-maven-plugin:0.16.0:generate (execution: generate-rocker-templates, phase: generate-sources)	pom.xml Maven Project Build Lifecycle Mapping

I successfully used other code generator (usually based on APT) and for example when you recompile something in Eclipse, m2e successfully rerun the plugin and fire/run the maven plugin keeping generated code up-to-date.

This isn't the case for Rocker :(

It more like a hack. We must provide all the configuration inside pluginManagement (so it never runs from a normal build). Then m2e lookup there and works as a proxy/delegate.

With this, you change a .rocker.html file inside Eclipse and it automatically generate the source code!!!

Another small tweak we need to do is to turn off touchFile. Otherwise, m2e trigger a build and loop forever.

Finally, I'm going to add your excellent library as a jooby module :)
