Q4E, the maven integration plug-in that has brought WTP support and Dependency Analysis to the Eclipse&Maven users is now listed at the Eclipse Plugin Central.
You can visit EPIC, rate Q for Eclipse and leave your comments.
It should also be much easier for new users to get to know Q for Eclipse.
Q for Eclipse, or q4e for short, is an open-source and open-development eclipse plug-in for bridging the gap between Eclipse and Maven. It is available from its google code home.
Since we believe that every eclipse user should be able to enjoy the benefits of using maven, we’ve proposed IAM (Integration for Apache Maven) as a new Eclipse project. Of course we offered q4e as an initial code contribution for the project. The proposal is discussed on its eclipse newsgroup (you’ll need to get a password from eclipse).
We’ve been working towards becoming a good candidate for an Eclipse project. The number of committers and the overall project activity has been growing, we’ve provided WTP integration, allowed sophisticated dependency analiysis… and much more.
Now, we’re gearing towards the final step for donating q4e source to the IAM proposal… getting IAM into the eclipse incubator.
For this, we needed two eclipse mentors.
Well, we’ve got three 
Being an official Eclipse project can only bring good things to q4e. Since we will have more eyes on the project, more enhancements will be requested and more hands will join in.
If you use q4e, feel free to write some quotes on the IAM group. We always like to know who’s using q4e and where!
Exciting times are ahead!
If you have not yet read it, lets go and check the piece of code causing a deadlock.
In order to not spoling the fun, I’m providing the answer in the full post.
Suppose you have this class:
public class Singleton implements Runnable {
public static final String A_STRING = "Hello World".toLowerCase();
public static final Singleton INSTANCE = new Singleton();
public static Singleton getInstance() {
return INSTANCE;
}
private Singleton() {
super();
launchThread();
}
public void launchThread() {
synchronized (this) {
Thread t = new Thread(this);
t.start();
while (t.isAlive()) {
try {
wait(100);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// Interrupted.
}
}
}
}
public void run() {
System.out.println(A_STRING);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Singleton.getInstance();
}
}
If you run the main method, it hangs in a deadlock. Can you see the reason?
