Nope. m2e does not know about these files. And Maven does not know either. Only maven plugin that generates the files knows about them and that plugin needs to communicate these changes back to m2e as explained in [1].

My build process generates a few client side files (js) that should be deployed to tomcat via the m2e-wtp plugin (such as minified js, created through the YUICompressor maven plugin). I found that the m2e-wtp plugin needs the target (specificially the target/m2e-wtp/web-resources directory) to be refreshed in order for this to work as expected. Would it make sense to have the m2e plugin refresh the target directory after any lifecycle is run? Since eclipse doesn't know about files updated behind it's back, surely the m2e plugin knows that the target directory has changed. I understand that it is a simple eclipse api call to refresh a directory (http://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_When_should_I_use_refreshLocal%3F) I doubt that this hasn't been brought up before, but I couldn't find anything. _______________________________________________ m2e-users mailing list [email protected] https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/m2e-users
