In the last few days I worked on the last required feature to abandon PDE and use maven (with the bnd-maven-plugin) and m2e.
Does anyone reading my blog know if IntelliJ and Netbeans also have a feature like this?

Hi Tom,
Is there any progress related to this topic?
Totally unrelated, will Oracle’s new six-month release cadence for Java and the removal of JavaFX affect e(fx)clipse?
Thanks!
with progress you mean support for those restrictions in Netbeans and/or IntelliJ? e(fx)clipse is not affected by the changes in release speed nor the removal of JavaFX as then it just gets an ordinary dependency for us. We welcome JavaFX getting a real opensource project and will help to push it forwards
Thanks for getting back to me. I was thinking of the progress to abandon PDE (to use maven/gradle) but working with Eclipse.
Progress is good. e4 applications we are developing with out customers are now all build on top of maven!
Once I managed to include https://github.com/BestSolution-at/maven-osgi-plugin/pull/6 one of the biggest build obstacles is fixed as well.
Oh and we started converting e(fx)clipse code base to a pure maven build but because of the high (javafx-)workload progress there is slow, for e(fx)clipse it it clearly the way forward.
