There actually is a "maven2 clean" in the "maven2" context menu. Yet I would prefer having this attached to "Project -> Clean" for a simple reason: Once in a while, one might want to go through rebuilding the whole of the workspace simply using "Project -> Clean" and selecting all projects. As long as all projects are "just" Eclipse projects, this does do rather well. As soon as there are some maven2 projects amongst them, however, this fails (well, it doesn't fail, but it doesn't do what one possibly would expect), and you're back to calling "maven2 -> maven2 clean" manually for each and every maven2 project in question.

However I am looking at things from a different point of view: So far I do not have a way using m2eclipse to build WTP enabled projects, meaning that virtually everything provided by Eclipse WTP (Servlet creation assistant, providing a graphical editor for web.xml, export to .war, or, most notable, running a .war project on a workspace-specific JEE server environment) is unusable as Eclipse doesn't recognize maven2 / war projects to be valid WTP projects. Again, one can work with that but it means losing quite a bunch of convenient and helpful features... Thanks for your time, anyhow. :) Best regards, Kristian -- Kristian Rink * http://zimmer428.net * http://flickr.com/photos/z428/ jab: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * icq: 48874445 * fon: ++49 176 2447 2771 "One dreaming alone, it will be only a dream; many dreaming together is the beginning of a new reality."
