Note: This post is now obsolete since there is a newer release.
I just finished a new release of Maven Tools 4 Eclipse. It’s not written in Groovy and supports all the features of the old Python version plus a few new ones.
You can find instructions how to use it on the wiki page.
For now, you need to build the tool from source (which needs 1.4-SNAPSHOT from DecentXML) using Maven. I’m in discussion with the people at Eclipse to get a download link for the binary.
Update: The project page now has a download link.

Thanks for your brilliant work.
Are there any chances that BIRT 3.7 will appear in the maven.eclipse.org repository?
Best wishes

I’m working on a repo which contains everything from Eclipse 3.7 but right now, my job takes a lot of my time.
On top of that, 3.7.1 was released some time ago and I’m not 100% sure how to handle that (everything in one repo or two repos).
Hi,
I know this isn’t the place to ask questions but…
I have a problem when I try to run the last version
I’ve created a directory named extrator_jar, pasted m4e jar and created a downloads directory.
Inside this directory I’ve putted the eclipse-jee-indigo-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz file and all jar files needed by birt runtime.
When I run the application it returns this:
java -jar org.eclipse.dash.mt4e-0.9.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar convert org.eclipse.dash:dependency-management:3.7.1
17:25:37 [INFO ] mt4e 0.9 (24.08.2011)

could you help me to solve it??
Thanks for your attention
Sure: You’ve found an inconvenience that I’ll have to fix 🙂 (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=367461)
As for a workaround, download priming.zip from here: http://git.eclipse.org/c/dash/org.eclipse.dash.m4e.tools.git/plain/data/priming.zip and put it into the directory “/home/hudson/extrator_jar/data/”.
Thanks for pointing this out.
It seems that the priming.zip from http://git.eclipse.org/c/dash/org.eclipse.dash.m4e.tools.git/tree/data is broken.
I can not unzip this file after downloading to local machine.
Thanks for the info. I’ll try to fix this ASAP. In the mean time, try this link: http://git.eclipse.org/c/dash/org.eclipse.dash.m4e.tools.git/plain/data/priming.zip
Hi,
I experience this same problem, but saving this link results in an empty file.
Regards.
I’ve release mt4e 0.10.0. Please try the new JAR from http://wiki.eclipse.org/Maven_Tools_4_Eclipse
This looks a lot better. Thanks.
Now see if I can actually use the converted repository.
