Hello m2e Community,
I have a problem with filtered source files and I hope you know how to
fix it.
I am editing a simple Java project in Eclipse which worked rather well
until I enabled to filter resources by the following POM entry:
<sourceDirectory>target/filtered-sources/java</sourceDirectory>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/resources</directory>
</resource>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/java</directory>
<filtering>true</filtering>
<targetPath>../filtered-sources/java</targetPath>
</resource>
</resources>
After "Maven > Update Project..." the situation in Eclipse is:
* /target/filtered-sources/java is correctly treated as a
derived source file, i. e. Eclipse warns that all changes are lost as
the file gets recreated automatically by the filtering. I think this is
OK and wanted.
* But: /src/main/java's content is shown with a different
(shallow) "J" icon, and Eclipse cannot apply neither "Organize Import"
nor "Source > Format" operations. For example, when trying "Organize
Import", Eclipse Indigo says "The resource is not on the build path of a
Java project.". Well, in fact, it actually IS on the build path, but it
is EXCLUDED by "**" by m2e (at least the package explorer tells me).
This means, all the nice JDT gimmicks are switched off!
So editing the original source is rather impossible now! I do not
believe that it is wanted by m2e that I cannot use any of the JDT
gimmicks?
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
Markus
