Hi Brett,
I don't want to start a flame war here, but by changing the linked resources on
the IDE would require a manual tuning on the .project and I like the way that
the whole .project and .classpath are generated automatically by Maven. That's
particularly useful in our case, where we have many projects that depend on
other projects of ours and these projects versions change frequently - so, with
Maven, we just need to run 'maven eclipse' and the dependencies are
automatically updated.
And of course, Maven is open source, so I can just change the plugin locally at
my company (in fact, we have many customizations that either are only useful at
our process or that wouldn't be accepted on Maven's code). But I still think
that the most the plugin could do automatically, the better.

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>
