It works to some degree with "mvn eclipse:eclipse". It creates a .project and .classpath file, but not for all folders. Maybe it is because they are just containers, like "examples" folder.
However it does not create these files for https://github.com/jbehave/jbehave-site<https://github.com/jbehave/jbehave-site/tree/master/site-frontend/src/site/content> for some reason, although "site-frontend" for instance appears like a project to me. After "mvn eclipse:eclipse" has run, they are no Maven projects in Eclipse since the .project file has no Maven nature configuration inside it. Instead there is a comment: "NO_M2ECLIPSE_SUPPORT: Project files created with the maven-eclipse-plugin are not supported in M2Eclipse." Still it helps using mvn eclipse:eclipse I think. 2013/11/13 Hans Schwäbli <bugs.need.love....@gmail.com> > Btw. thank you (still angry because of that other issue). > > > 2013/11/13 Hans Schwäbli <bugs.need.love....@gmail.com> > >> Okay, I see.
