Re: [m2e-dev] Metadata File > 700 MB

You can disable this in m2e preferences, simply uncheck "Download
repository index updates on startup".

Hi Will,

I recently discovered that there is a metadata file for m2e that has ballooned to over 700 MB in size. Specifically, its file path is:

[Eclipse Workspace]/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.m2e.core/nexus/26522e0d83a422eed93329ece7565cfc/_1n.cfs

The name of the file, and the folder that contains it, are not descriptively named, so I have no idea what this file is or if it's important to m2e's operation. I see that it was modified recently on my computer (about 2 hours ago), but I'm not sure why, especially since I haven't been working on any Maven projects lately.

Is this 700 MB file a bug? Should I (somehow) send it to someone? Is it safe to delete it? Any help would be appreciated.

IIRC this is the Lucene index used by m2e for its searches. You can
delete it but It will probably get recreated. Also I think it got
disabled by default in 1.5 .
