Re: [m2e-dev] How are generated-sources prevented from compiling?

[Igor Fedorenko <igor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

m2e does not generate sources jars during workspace build, or any jar
for that matter.

Eclipse java tooling has explicit support for source-level references
among workspace projects and this is what m2e uses when <dependency> is
resolved to another workspace project.

For dependencies resolved from Maven repositories, m2e will use attached
sources jars and fall back to attached javadoc jar.

org.eclipse.jdt.core.IClasspathEntry javadoc has more information.
