[m2e-users] m2e ignore plugin goal

[Henrique Prange <hprange@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I'm playing with Eclipse Indigo and m2e for the first time. Thanks for your hard work and congratulations.

The first thing I have noted about m2e is that most of my projects contain errors related to plug-in goal execution. m2e provides an automatic mechanism to add the required configuration to ignore the goal execution, which is fine. The configuration is written to the pom.xml and has the following comment:

<!--This plugin's configuration is used to store Eclipse m2e settings only. It has no influence on the Maven build itself.-->

If this is a m2e specific configuration and has no influence on the Maven build, why is it in the pom.xml? Is it a temporary solution?

Cheers,

Henrique
