| Hello,
 after updating my source code in Eclipse I currently have to manually execute two actions:
 
 * Update my maven projects with Alt+F5 (this overrides the Eclipse project settings with corresponding
 settings from the pom.xml files, e.g. udpates the classpath  files)
 * Run my main pom.xml file with a maven run configuration ("maven build", this
 executes all plugins of the pom.xml file)
 
 Is there a way to
 
 * automatically execute a given "maven build" - run configuration after updating my m2e projects? or
 * include an m2e project update in a "maven build" - run configuration? or
 * write an ant file to execute both, the m2e project update and the maven build? or
 * adapt the m2e plugin settings to not just update the Eclipse settings but execute all
 plugins of the pom.xml file? (Maybe this is exactly the purpose of lifecycle mappings?
 I tried to define a lifecycle mapping for my pom-packaged, modular project, but did
 not get it working.)
 
 I also asked this question on stack overflow, including an example pom.xml:
