Thanks for confirming one of my suspicions, Sergiu. I've used the eclipse
goal on other Maven-based projects where I approached things in basically
the way you describe. But since there is no mention of that approach in the
XWiki docs I was hesitant to assume it would work with the XWiki projects.
Can I run the Maven eclipse goal at the root of each project, like
xwiki-commons, and it will walk down through all the projects in the tree?

Thomas,
On a minor note, I guess I could "solve" the aspect plugin problem by
falling back to Indigo. And perhaps solve the other two problems by
not importing the two projects that are involved --
xwiki-commons-component-legacy-default and
xwiki-commons-tool-license-resources, although this might result in a
non-buildable project tree in Eclipse anyway.
On a more significant note, what I intended to do may be infeasible.
And possibly never attempted. My goal is to study virtually every part
of the code base. With Eclipse I could easily follow class and method
references in as much depth as I wanted. And I could theoretically use
container-based debugging to trace execution flow through the entire
application. But all of that requires that I have the entire code base
in one Eclipse workspace, and that's what I was starting out to build.
Would that be hopeless/fruitless? I do have alternatives to Eclipse
for at least part of my goal, but not for real-time debugging.
What works for me is to skip m2eclipse completely. I use Eclipse for
browsing the code, and command line tools (git, mvn) for the rest.
To prepare the eclipse projects, just use this line:
mvn eclipse:eclipse -DdownloadSources=true -DdownloadJavadocs=true
-Pci,integration-tests,legacy,hsqldb,jetty
Then you can File->Import->Existing projects into workspace to get the
projects built by maven into Eclipse. The problem is that whenever modules
change, you'll have to regenerate/reimport the modules.

I just finished porting my XWiki development environment from Windows
7 to Ubuntu 12.04. I am now able to build all projects from the
command line without errors. I'm working with the master branch from
Git. I have Eclipse Juno installed with plugins that include
m2eclipse (the version from the Eclipse update site) and AJDT. I am
now trying to import the entire xwiki-commons Maven project into
Eclipse. Just as happened under Windows (which I never asked about,
since I was still trying to get command line builds to work), there
are three Maven goals (plugins) in the xwiki-commons projects that
fail to map to Eclipse plugins -- aspectJ-maven-plugin,
maven-antrun-plugin, and maven-remote-resources-plugin. Can anyone
give me some hints on how to resolve these mapping problems? Googling
for answers about this hasn't yielded anything that I can understand
:-)
I usually only open what I'm working on in Eclipse because otherwise
with commons/rendering/platform it's a lot of projects and it's
slowing down everything for things you probably don't care.
As for the missing mapping between Maven plugins and m2e handlers:
* aspectJ-maven-plugin: could not find any either, there used to be
one but it does not work anymore on 4.x. There is no official version
of AJDT for 4.x so that's probably why it's not yet fixed but it
