Some OSGi bundle development and PDE knowledge is assumed. TODO link to some PDE documentation and tutorials

== Java code generation overview ==
+
 
+
Although there are no strict rules, usually maven java code generation plugins like antlr3-maven-plugin or maven-jaxb-plugin take one or more input files from project source tree and generate a number java source files in a subdirectory of target/generated-sources/ directory. These generated sources are usually required to compile and/or run project tests.
+
 
+
To properly support code generation inside Eclipse IDE workspace, the IDE generally needs to perform some configuration (semi) statically during project import and then do actually code generation either on request or automatically as part of workspace build.
+
 
+
== Project directory structure overview ==
+
 
+
  org.somecatchyname/                   <= project basedir, all project files are under this directory
+
    org.somecatchyname.m2e/             <= main bundle project
+
      src/
+
      pom.xml
+
    org.somecatchyname.m2e.tests/      <= automated tests (optional, but highly recommended)
+
      src/
+
      pom.xml
+
    org.somecatchyname.m2e.feature/    <= eclipse feature project
+
      feature.xml
+
      pom.xml
+
    pom.xml                            <= aggregator pom.xml

This wiki assumes project basedir is /var/tmp/somecatchyname, but this can obviously be any other directory.

      basic/                    <= test maven project used to verify m2e extension behaviour

Use Plug-In Project new project wizard to create main bundle project. This is regular PDE stuff.
