Dave,
thank you for sharing this idea. In fact, this sounds promising. So I only need to find out how to tell Eclipse that it shall run that configuration each time I press “CTRL-S”. J
Thanks!
Markus

Hi Markus,
I’m not sure if this will help, but if you are only concerned with not having to press F5 after Maven has run then you could set up a Run Configuration (Run->Run Configurations…) to process the Maven build. The ‘Maven Build’ configuration type has a ‘Refresh’ tab where you can control what gets refreshed afterwards.
Dave.
Hello m2e Community!
My pom.xml enables execution of the xml-maven-plugin (and enables generated-sources as a target folder using the build-helper-plugin):
<configuration>
<lifecycleMappingMetadata>
<pluginExecutions>
<pluginExecution>
<pluginExecutionFilter>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>xml-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<versionRange>[1.0,)</versionRange>
<goals>
<goal>transform</goal>
</goals>
</pluginExecutionFilter>
<action>
<execute />
</action>
</pluginExecution>
</pluginExecutions>
</lifecycleMappingMetadata>
</configuration>
After pressing F5 I can see the generated outcome in Eclipse Indigo. Nice! J
But I don’t want to press F5! So how to tell m2e that after <execute /> of the plugin, it also shall <refresh /> the generated-sources folder in the IDE?
Thanks!
Markus
