alternative to maven scm connector subclipse (not working with subclipse1.8)?

Question

So for my project I am in need of Subclipse 1.8.x. This has been well and good, but the maven SCM handler for subclipse is only compatible with Subclipse 1.6.x. I like this plug

Answer 1

The lack of response on this issue from the m2e people has been disappointing. Thankfully the guys from Subclipse have recently come to our rescue. They have forked the project, applied the patch and created an update site which publishes the new version. In short, Maven SCM Handler for Subclipse is finally compliant with Subclipse 1.8.x

Just make sure you use this update site to install in the future and all is well again in the universe. :o)

UPDATE 10/03/2014: Similar problem when upgrading to Subclipse 1.10.x, see this post
