Description Christoph Laeubrich CLA 2021-12-06 06:31:57 EST 
For m2eclipse we know certain files are derived but we don't know if the always exits (or will be created at a later point in time).

It would be handy to simply list these in the org.eclipse.core.resources.prefs so they get a derived status later on automatically whenever they are created.

For example if I select UTF-8 encoding for a file I get the following entry in the org.eclipse.core.resources.prefs file:

encoding//target/classes/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF=UTF-8

similar to that I'd like to have an entry like this:
derived//target/classes/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF=true
