[m2e-users] m2e, resource excludes and gwt ClientBundle 
Hi,

this is a reincarnation of an old classic, please bear with me.

I'm using m2e in a gwt project. As you know, m2e by default excludes
"**" on resource classpath entries. I can absolutely follow the regular
arguments as to why this exclude is done (let maven handle the resource
copying), and I don't want to argue against it.

But in GWT, when I use ClientBundle, I can reference resources in
annotations [1].

This is a very nifty feature.

Except that when my resources lie in src/main/resources (like they
should), the gwt eclipse plugin checks the classpath for the resources
and of course can't find them and marks the annotations in the
ClientBundle interfaces with errors.

This is not really a showstopper or major issue, since the project can
still be built, but it's not nice to have errors in the project at all
times.

I've worked around this issue for now by moving the resources to my
src/main/java source folder and including the src/main/java folder as a
resource folder (with proper includes) in my pom [2].

So, does anyone have any other idea how to work around this issue?

Regards,

Ole
