Since NetBeans 5.5, the SOA project systems has been developed based on the ant-based NetBeans project system. This project system works very well within NetBeans, but we experienced some limiting issues when trying to use it outside of the NetBeans environment. Maven based projects are supported by NetBeans and works well either from the command line or in other IDEs. In NetBeans 6.5, we plan to introduce Maven based SOA projects. This will be a set of more generic SOA project types that can be uses inside and outside of NetBeans IDE. Some NetBeans SOA project ant target tasks may be ported over to Maven.
Would the resolution of this issue allow all Netbeans wizards to be accessible for maven based projects? I would really like to use WSIT wizards for securing communication between my web service client and server where my projects are all maven-based. In eclipse one can do everything they can in ant-based projects in a maven project. This is a major issue for maven developers like myself. Does this issue capture my requirements? What is the timeframe for the resolution of this issue? Thanks.
Should this also become a blocker on http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=89008, since that is an umbrella issue. It is not clear to me that they have the same intent, but it is close. If not, then perhaps this issue can become the umbrella issue for bringing ANT/Maven parity to NetBeans.
