Re: [m2e-users] Eclipse seemingly deleting and recreating "target" directory for one project every second
|
FYI, m2e-wtp (I assume that's what you use to handle EARs) DOES NOT modify your pom.xml behind your back.
Please open a bug report and add a sample project to reproduce the issue at
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=M2E-WTP

I think I figured out what was partially responsible for this, but I'm not sure how it got into this state, or why it was really causing the symptom.
I noticed that the project had a resource filter for any name that matches "target". That immediately jumped out at me. I removed that, and it fixed the problem. None of my other Maven projects had this filter, or the symptom. I think it's pretty unlikely that I added this filter, but I suppose it's possible. Even if I did, the effect of the filter shouldn't have produced this symptom. I should have never seen the "target" folder. It seems like there is a multiple personality in place here. One part was filtering the resource, and another was bringing it back immediately, rinse and repeat.
