You want to debug Eclipse itself and not Maven. (If you run with "Run as
Maven..." menu, this will not work, this is nearly just like a console
maven build , just use project> clean or trigger incremental build)
I usually launch a second eclipse instance from within the first to do that.

Look for tutorials on developping Eclipse plugins if you do not know how to
do that.

AFAIK, modifications will either not be seen by Eclipse, or if you have
automatic refresh of workspace, it will loop ( auto-refresh> found one
external modif>rebuild> auto-refresh > found one external modif >... ).


Calling refresh() will inform Eclipse that the modification is part of the
current build and not an external one.
You need to call refresh() for all modifications. (or  via
 buildContext.newFileOutputStream).


I have some more questions, but I would like to receive responses for
