[m2e-users] exclusion filter "**" for src/main/resources?

[Stephan Herrmann <stephan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In the old m2eclipse we've been annoyed by the exclusion filter "**"
that is generated into the classpath entry for src/main/resources,
because incremental compile would not copy resources, only full build would.
So we had to remove the exclusion filter after each checkout + configure.

Using m2e 1.0 I'm surprised to see that the exclusion filter is still
generated, but copying seems to be correctly triggered for each save.
Apparently, the maven builder does this, instead of the java builder?

Could you please explain the intention behind putting s.t. on the classpath
but excluding everything? It looks funny to me.

Also: since in the past we kept removing that exclusion filter,
would this habit cause havoc in m2e (like concurrent copying of the
same files with the potential of write conflicts etc)?

thanks,
Stephan
