Currently an IDE launching an external maven process is rather blind, it can only see if the process exit with success and maybe read the standard stream. A much more feature rich experience could been offered if the launching process can gather some information about the run, e.g. what process is currently executed, what mojo and if it failed. Also currently features of the build context can only be implemented if running inside the IDE process what has several implications. This now adds a connect API that allows an IDE to supply an extension to the maven process (e.g. via maven.ext.class.path) and set a system property (plexus.build.ipc.port) to communicate with the running maven process.

I testes this in different combinations with m2e and it works fine, so further enhancements can be made with separate PRs. |
