Maven build shortcut not working

[georgeoikawapp]

In eclipse 2023-06 the maven build shortcut (alt+shift+x+m) is ok, mas upgrande to version 2023-09 and 2023-12 the shortcut doesnt work anymore.

Hi,
just run into the same problem.
This seems to be a side effect of 289595f (#1452)

The Keyboard shortcut references the removed buttons command id, so after removing it, the shortcut no longer works.

I would further argue, that the shortcut is not obsolete: If one would create 50+ maven run configs for one project (unlikely but possible) the Menu would explode. Thus its length should be limited, offering the maven build button at access the scrawlable dialog with all configs to select the one you want.

As this is easily one of the shortcut I use most, i would suggest at the least, to reverting this change.

As a workaround: As the change is only on the plugin.xml, you can extract eclipseSetup\plugins\org.eclipse.m2e.launching_XXXX.jar, revert the change to the plugin.xml manually (by copying the shortcut back in) and rezip it. After restarting Eclipse, the Button will be back in the Run as menu and the Keyboard shortcut will work again.

Please provide a fix, the most suitable one seems to assign the shortcut to the Dialog oriented one then ...

If one would create 50+ maven run configs for one project (unlikely but possible) the Menu would explode

You can always abuse a feature, though we try to support the common case not the one that makes use of unrealistic corner cases.

@laeubi The Dialog I'm referring to is the on that was linked to the old Button. The ExecutePomAction:WITH_DIALOG action appears to linkt to the "Create New" Dialog, which is not wanted here, as it would lead to creating a new run config for every run (which would end up being the 50+ use case).

If there is an other, better Dialog you reference, I have never seen it before. So could you please point me in the right direction?

For my perspective, revering (#1452) is the easiest. The additional Button doesn't hurt anyone, does it?

[laeubi]

Please share a screenshot then, there was no button removed, just a Menu item, that menu items also usually have no dialog unless you have no run config (what the existing one would show), the shortcut can simply made to run the last selected run config though it does not need to always create a new one.

As you already mentioned to many items can 'blow up' the thing so we should not add items that are already there.

Ok, sorry for causing confusion: Of cause i mean the the menu Item that (used to be) under Run as/Maven Build (without the three dots), that was also bound the the keybord shortcut in question.

Its behaviour used to be:

• If no config available, Create one.
• If exactly one Config, execute it.
• If more than one, show this selection dialog:
  

Please note, that for demo, i just cloned the first Run config, that's why the name and goals are almost identical.

Personally, if there are many Run configurations, i prefer this already existing Dialog, because it is filterable AND scrawlable.
Also it was accessible by keyboard shortcuts, speeding up usage.

Thus, i would just restore it, the way it was.

@mickaelistria is it possible to have a shortcut but still not show the menu item? I think I have seen it that one can even make it somehow configurable in the perspective preferences.

This is probably the worst thing you could have done to me. I just spent hours trying to figure this out. I ended up using the workaround provided by Omega1001 (thank you so much for this !) . For many years I've used the keyboard shortcut (Alt+Shift+X+M) to launch a preconfigured maven build within half a second, and it would be terrible to unlearn this without having a comparatively quick and easy alternative.

Please just restore it, the way it was.

Missing this dialog too!

+1 for keyboard direct usage over mouse oriented action
