#### Maven to Eclipse (m2e) connector
#### Maven to Eclipse (M2E) connector

The connector between AspectJ Maven Plugin and AJDT has not been maintained by the AspectJ team for some years, but
there is a fairly up-to-date [fork by Miika Vesti (joker1)](https://github.com/joker1/m2eclipse-ajdt) with the following
update sites:
The M2E connector is capable of importing build settings from AspectJ Maven Plugin (see section "Build tools / Maven"
below).

As of April 2024, AspectJ developer Alexander Kriegisch published a [fork of the project](https://github.com/dev-aspectj/m2eclipse-ajdt)
and corresponding Eclipse update sites here:
* Eclipse 2024-03 (4.31): https://aspectj.dev/maven/m2eclipse-ajdt/eclipse-2024-03/
* Eclipse 2022-12 (4.26): https://aspectj.dev/maven/m2eclipse-ajdt/eclipse-2022-12/

The project is only maintained on a best-effort basis, and not each update published has a proper new release version.
If your snapshot does not update properly (Eclipse failing to calculate solutions for installation and saying that the
plugin is already installed), simply uninstall the "Maven Integration for AJDT (Optional)" feature from Eclipse,
re-start the IDE and install again from the corresponding update site.

History: The connector between AspectJ Maven Plugin and AJDT had not been maintained for some years, but until 2023
there was a fairly up-to-date [fork by Miika Vesti (joker1)](https://github.com/joker1/m2eclipse-ajdt) with the
following update sites, which currently (April 2024) seem to be unavailable:
* Eclipse 2022-12 (4.26): https://repo.t5.fi/public/eclipse/m2eclipse-ajdt/eclipse-2022-12/
* Eclipse 2020-12 (4.18): https://repo.t5.fi/public/eclipse/m2eclipse-ajdt/eclipse-2020-12/
* Eclipse 2019-06 (4.12): https://repo.t5.fi/public/eclipse/m2eclipse-ajdt/eclipse-2019-06/
