Internally at Magnolia we would have liked to switch to Eclipse Indigo a long time ago but then preferred to stick to Helios due to the shortcomings caused by this still unresolved Indigo bug (see also related issue http://jira.magnolia-cms.com/browse/BUILD-72Image Added). However, if for some reason you have to use Indigo, we found some workarounds you can read below.

  • m2e 1.0 known issue

Indigo introduces m2e (Maven 2 Eclipse) 1.0, which seems to cause some problems with plugins that are not "known" by m2e. This hits Magnolia with the setproperty Maven plugin.

Warning

No marketplace entries found to handle Execution currentDate, in /pom.xml in Eclipse.  Please see Help for more information.

No worries. Choose to resolve the issue later and import the project.
