Re: [m2e-dev] Questions about the Maven Builder 
In theory, builders order should not matter. Builders produce workspace
changes, so if m2e builder changed any workspace resources, this will
trigger new build cycle (assuming workspace build is ON, of course), and
these changes will be picked up by other builders.

Project metadata changes is another story. Although I have not seen this
is documented anywhere, I believe general assumption is that project
configuration is (relatively) static and does not change as a result of
project build. So if maven builder changes or updates project
configuration (things like application.xml and OSGi bundle manifest), it
sort of falls into a gray territory, in theory everything is supposed to
work, but in practice some tools may get confused and may need extra
help to "notice" new project metadata.

Hello World,

I'm not sure about the answer so I think it's best if I forward the

    Hi Fred,

    Fighting with Jose Freitas' problem with not-working code completion
    for JSF tags I looked at his .project file: http://pastebin.com/bDLDDq2C
    There is a builder org.eclipse.m2e.core.maven2Builder which
    isdeclared as the last one in the list of the builders. Eventually
    we found the reason of not-working code completion. It's not related
    to maven stuff at all (he didn't install JSF tools:
    https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-9397 ). But anyway, could it
    be a problem if the maven builder declared last? For instance:

    1. Java builder build the project.
    2. CDI builder builds the project using Java model (cdi builder
    should be declared after Java builder and we create a problem marker
    if it's not so).
    3. KB builder builds the project using Java model (so we check the
    build order again).
    4. WST validation builder validate the project. We extend this
    validation and check if CDI, KB, Seam builders declared before the
    WST builder.

    So, what about Maven? Does it do anything that could influence CDI,
    JSF, Seam and don't trigger a new cycle of building? Should we care
    if maven declared after CDI/KB/WST?
    I tested Jose's project and everything seems to work, but I could
    miss something.



Thanks for you insights.

Regards,

Fred Bricon
