Hi James Thanks for your help! Theoretically, recreating the .project would be a possibility, but of course I don't know what other external tools and builders and whatnot will be in the project files. So overwriting them with a hardcoded setting isn't really an option IMHO.
I guess I'll have to do it with a backup copy then. Do you think there's a chance that the plugin authors would change its behavior, adding something like eclipse:classpath? In the meantime, since I'm calling Maven with eclipse:eclipse as an External Tool in Eclipse, I created a batch file which does the copying: echo Making a backup of .project file copy .project .project_backup echo Starting Maven call mvn %* echo Restoring .project file copy .project_backup .project echo Deleting .project backup del .project_backup Best regards, Eric -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: James Mitchell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Samstag, 21.

Well, I suppose you could keep a backup copy and just overwrite the incorrectly gen'd one every time, but that would be frustrating I'm sure. I don't know if the current plugin supports this sort of specialized build configuration or some way to inject fragments into the output files, but I did find one interesting work-around. By adding a little configuration to your pom.xml, you can tell Maven to just overwrite the gen'd one with one specify in your pom. Here's how I did it: In the plugins section I added the following... ... ... <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-eclipse-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <additionalConfig> <file> <name>.project</name> <content> <![CDATA[ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <projectDescription> <name>ejbtest</name> <comment></comment> <projects> </projects> <buildSpec> <buildCommand> <name>org.eclipse.ui.externaltools.ExternalToolBuilder</name> <triggers>full,incremental,</triggers> <arguments> <dictionary> <key>LaunchConfigHandle</key> <value><project>/.externalToolBuilders/ org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.ejb.annotations.xdoclet.xdocletbuilder.launch</ value> </dictionary> </arguments> </buildCommand> <buildCommand> <name>org.eclipse.ui.externaltools.ExternalToolBuilder</name> <triggers>full,incremental,</triggers> <arguments> <dictionary> <key>LaunchConfigHandle</key> <value><project>/.externalToolBuilders/ GenerateSources.launch</value> </dictionary> </arguments> </buildCommand> <buildCommand> <name>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javabuilder</name> <arguments> </arguments> </buildCommand> <buildCommand> <name>org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.builder</name> <arguments> </arguments> </buildCommand> <buildCommand> <name>org.eclipse.wst.validation.validationbuilder</name> <arguments> </arguments> </buildCommand> </buildSpec> <natures> <nature>org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.nature</nature> <nature>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature</nature> <nature>org.eclipse.wst.common.modulecore.ModuleCoreNature</nature> <nature>org.eclipse.jem.workbench.JavaEMFNature</nature> </natures> </projectDescription> ]]> </content> </file> </additionalConfig> </configuration> </plugin> ... ... And Maven will happily write that file (conveniently) after the wrong .project gets written. I doubt that this is the correct way to do it, but it works for now and seems easier than recopying your .project config over the gen'd one. Let me know if there's a better way.
