[m2e-users] Maven project cache size in ProjectRegistryManager

[Tami Takamiya <ttakamiy@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

This is my first post to this group.
 I was not sure if I should post to the user group or the developer
group.  Since I am an user, I post this here.  If it seems more
appropriate in the developer group, I will re-post it.

We have a performance issue with using
m2e (version 1.6.0.20150325-2013).  It seems like whenever we run
a program or a JUnit, lots of projects in workspace are rebuilt and stuck
at 57% with the "Verifying launch attributes..." message.

I ran a separate Eclipse instance in
debug mode and found there is a cache in org.eclipse.m2e.core.internal.project.registry.ProjectRegistryManager
class and it seems to be used for caching dependency information of each
Maven project.

However, according to the source code,
the maximum size of the project cache is hard-coded to 5, which I think
too small for our usage.  

Is there any way to increase this value?
  Or is this value set to 5 intentionally?
