Re: [m2e-users] m2e 1.6 M6 to enable automatic update project configuration
|
Hi,

> configuration (experimental))
Does this automatically update only the Maven dependencies in memory?
Or does it also automatically modify the project's .classpath file on
disk?
In the latter case, I would like to ask for an option to not update/change
the .classpath files. Like the option
project > (popup menu) > Maven > Update Project...
> Update project configuration from pom.xml
allows to avoid modifying .classpath files.
Rationale: In my team, developers frequently have local modifications of
the .classpath files, for various reasons:
- To allow Eclipse navigation from project to project, rather than
from project to maven snapshot. Different team members tweak/optimize
their .classpath files differently.
- To work around inconsistencies between the m2e generated .classpath
file and the pom.xml file. See
