Re: [m2e-users] On handling of generated code

Right, as explained in [1], mapping metadata embedded in maven plugins
is considered after pom.xml and installed m2e extensions, so both m2e
users and m2e extension developers will be able to workaround
misbehaving maven plugins.

My concern is that in most cases the source of the problem, i.e.
misbehaving maven plugin, will be far from obvious, the problem itself
will be intermittent (remember the infamous MNGECLIPSE-823?) and in the
end the ability to embed mapping metadata in maven plugins will result
in worse experience for m2e users and more support/troubleshooting work
for m2e developers.

As a side note, lets move any further discussion of this subject to m2e-dev.

users (like in your case, code generation simply does not happen) or

result in bugreports agains m2e and will require significant amount of
time to analyze.

We'll see how it goes…

if there is an "native" m2e eclipse configurator plugin for a mvn plugin does that precedence
or is the result "merged" ?

if taking precedence that is at least one way to improve on misbehaving mvn plugins.
