Remove Maven Artifacts from the target

[rubenporras]

Remove Maven Artifacts from the target, as the lastest version of PDE cannot resolve them.

[akurtakov]

PDE needs M2e PDE feature being installed (https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/m2e/releases/2.4.0/features/org.eclipse.m2e.pde.feature_2.2.200.20230820-0922.jar ) in order to resolve Maven directly. Do you have it installed?

[rubenporras]

I did not, but I have installed it, restared, and still the target cannot be loaded. See this screenshot:

any suggestions what could be wrong?

[akurtakov]

Would you please try to edit the feature (without changing anything) to force pde to re-resolve it?

[rubenporras]

I have increased sequenceNumber, saved and refreshed. Same problem.

[akurtakov]

Hmm, it works for me. Would you please explicitly click Edit on

[rubenporras]

I tried that already, it did not work either. Creating a new workspace and importing the lsp4e project again, and loading the target file in the new workspace did not work either.
Could you maybe try with the target file of lsp4e that I am modifying in this PR, and not the one from TM4E?

[akurtakov]

I reproduce it with lsp4e. Please give me few hours to investigate before pushing this one. I'll get back here.

@akurtakov , it is a missing feature (#849 (reply in thread)), I would suggest that we merge this PR then, as it is very inconvenient if people clone our repo and cannot work with it out of the box, and I do not see any drawback of using just p2 locations. Do you agree?

OK. Go for it.
