Use [http://git.eclipse.org/c/m2e/m2e-discovery-catalog.git/tree/org.eclipse.m2e.discovery.oss/connectors.xml this XML descriptor format], in other words, we'd like to be able to paste provided entry information directly to the descriptor.

==Updating existing marketplace entries==

+
# Clone git.eclipse.org/c/m2e/m2e-discovery-catalog.git
+
# Make desired changes to org.eclipse.m2e.discovery.oss/connectors.xml
+
# Verify your changes by running "mvn clean install" from the root of the repository
+
# Commit your changes
+
# Generate patch using "git format-patch HEAD^" command
+
# Open new bugreport in m2e bugzilla with "[catalog] your extension name" in the subject and attach the patch to the bugzilla
+
 
+
==Maven repositories==
+
 
+
Due to [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=346830 bug 346830], support for resolving m2e marketplace catalog entries from Maven repositories has been disabled.
+
 
+
==P2 repositories==
+
 
+
For m2e extensions published in p2 repositories we need information about p2 repository url, installable unit id of the feature or bundle to be installed and installable unit id of a bundle that contains lifecycle-mapping-metadata.xml
+
 
+
Make sure extension's installable unit contains applicable license information. In practical terms, this means extension must have feature.xml files with <license/> element.
+
 
+
It is assumed that contents of provided p2 repository will not change in the future unless corresponding m2e marketplace catalog entry is removed or amended.
