Re: [m2e-users] How to tell m2e to update a particular folder (or at lea

[Igor Fedorenko <igor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The first problem is to decide when m2e should execute the mojo. Doing
so every time a workspace file changes is both prohibitively expansive
from performance point of view and results in endless builds. There are
few ways of doing this but all require either development of a project
configurator to "wrap" mojo execution or changes to the mojo itself.

So yes, just adding <refresh> annotation either won't do what you want,
i.e. automatic generation and refresh, or will result in extremely poor
workspace build performance and endless build loops.

This does not mean such solution is not possible, of course, so if you think you know how to implement it, please bring your ideas to m2e-dev mailing list, preferably in a form of a quality patch with corresponding tests, and we'll discuss it there.
