Build Identifier: 

I'm working on the m2e/WTP integration plugin. m2e-wtp 0.13.0 now uses maven-generated manifests, as announced here : http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/m2e-users/msg00692.html

Doing so, WTP-generated manifests become irrelevant, so the m2e-wtp plugin tries to guess where they are generated and delete them if necessary. That's the dirty way of getting around WTP.
The proper way would be to add a new DataModel variable that would basically tell WTP to generate the manifest for a project, or not. m2e-wtp would call something like :
IDataModel modelConfig = ....
...
modelConfig.setProperty(IJ2EEModuleFacetInstallDataModelProperties.GENERATE_MANIFEST, false);
..

Default value would be true, to keep existing behaviour 

Reproducible: Always
