I have to push out an M2E connector to our developers. Has anyone don’t that before? Will it work?

The way it is done manually is to go to Maven4MyEclipse, open catalog, check the connector you want, etc..

Screenshot attached of the manual approach.

thanks

Hello,

We apologize to respond this late.

What you can do is to import the connector as a Third Party Library using the connector’s update site. So, the question is how can you get connector’s URL?

We went through he following steps:

1) Open Preferences dialog and search for ‘Discovery’ entry under ‘Maven4MyEclipse’ category.
2) Once on Discovery preference page, copy the ‘Catalog URL’ displayed and paste it in a browser. In our case the following URL is being displayed:

http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/discovery/directory-1.5.xml

3) Once in the browser, there is a URL to a jar file. We got this:

http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/.m2e/discovery-catalog/org.eclipse.m2e.discovery.oss-catalog-1.5.jar

4) Download the jar file and extract its content. Find the plugin.xml file and browse it to find the connector you want to install. Select its correspondent ‘siteURL’ and you can use it to create the Third Party Library.

Hope this helps you to move forward.
