Hi Trygve,
Yes, I agree with you. But believe me, that cannot be done in my case. This is
my main rant about Maven: it forces the projects to adapt to Maven, not the
opposite. I mean, I think the 'Maven way' is the best option in most cases; but
when it isn't, it should allow you to adapt it to your needs.
Anyways, even if it could be done, this feature would still be useful in other
situations. For instance, I could have an images directory located somewhere
else and need to access it locally if my project is a web application that is
accessed as a context by Tomcat.

PS: I didn't assign it to me because I'd like to hear some options (like yours)
first. But if we decide to implement it, I will do the changes (creating some
test cases first).

Description:
I have some projects that share some common Java files (in a ../common
directory) and I need to access that directory as a source tree (I know that
having multiple source directory is not the maven way of doing things, but
sometimes that's a need).
So, one way to do this is creating a folder on the project as a link to an
existing one in the filesystem (or to an Eclipse variable). If I do so on
Eclipse, it generates an entry like the following in .project:
<linkedResources>
<link>
<name>folder_A</name>
<type>2</type>
<location>FOLDER_VARIABLE_NAME</location>
</link>
<link>
<name>file_B</name>
<type>1</type>
<location>/folder/location/on/filesystem</location>
</link>
</linkedResources>
So, I think it would be nice to have a property (similar to what we have on the
natures element) to add such links. Something like this:
maven.eclipse.links=folderA, fileB
maven.eclipse.links.folderA.name=folder_A
maven.eclipse.links.folderA.type=2
maven.eclipse.links.folderA.location=FOLDER_VARIABLE_NAME
maven.eclipse.links.fileB.name=file_B
maven.eclipse.links.fileB.type=1
maven.eclipse.links.fileB.location=/folder/location/on/filesystem
Optional, we could eliminate the need for a type variable by using variable or
path:
maven.eclipse.links.folderA.name=folder_A
maven.eclipse.links.folderA.variable=FOLDER_VARIABLE_NAME
maven.eclipse.links.fileB.name=file_B
maven.eclipse.links.fileB.path=/folder/location/on/filesystem
<j:if test="${context.getVariable('maven.eclipse.links') != null}">
<linkedResources>
<util:tokenize var="links" delim=",">
${maven.eclipse.links}
</util:tokenize>
<j:forEach var="link" items="${links}" trim="true">
<link>
<j:set var="name" value="maven.eclipse.links.${link}.name"/>
<j:set var="type" value="maven.eclipse.links.${link}.type"/>
<j:set var="location" value="maven.eclipse.links.${link}.location"/>
<name>${context.getVariable(name)}</name>
<type>${context.getVariable(link)}</type>
<location>${context.getVariable(location)}</location>
</link>
</linkedResources>
</j:if>
