Hey Eugene Thanks for your answer. We don't share the .metadata, but what we have is an "Eclipse Development Environment" distribution procedure, which copies an initial (common version of) .metadata to the respective workstation.
Up to now, we managed to keep this initial .metadata relative to the workspace, in the sense that no absolute paths get stored anywhere in the .metadata and things worked fine. But now, we end up having those .loaction files containing absolute paths and this breaks our distribution process. Additionally contrary to what I said before, I do run into an endless loop on importing my multi-module project on "Maven Import". I think I read about that issue somewhere before, I am running 0.9.7. Any workaround for that ? Thank you very much and regards, Christian. -----Original Message----- From: Eugene Kuleshov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Donnerstag, 2.
