Description Pascal Rapicault CLA 2011-02-11 16:45:44 EST 
When a packaging type is unknown, we should give the user the opportunity to import it as a Java Project so the browsing of the code is still possible.
This should be proposed as part of the import workflow (still to be worked on) and also as a quick fix.

The quick fix should cause the addition of the lifecycle mapping metadata in the pom so this can be shared with others.

Underlying User Story. As a user, when I import a java project with custom packaging type (nexus-plugin, hpi, sonar-plugin, etc) I expect Eclipse workspace projects to have JDT nature, source folders and dependencies configured similarly to packaging=jar.

Internally, we need to change how m2e detects java projects to rely on presence of maven-compiler-plugin with compilerId=javac (the default) in project execution plan. This should provide expected behaviour for vast majority of projects m2e is able to support without custom lifecycle mapping strategy implementation.

Implemented. m2e enables java functionality based on presence maven-compiler-plugin with compilerId=javac. This default behaviour can be overridden for individual projects and for specific packaging types.
