Re: [m2e-users] build-helper-maven-plugin and add source support in m2e

[Igor Fedorenko <igor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No workaround in 1.0, but in 1.1, you can setup project classpath
manually however you like, and m2e is expected to preserve the manual
configured classpath entries during project configuration update.

Eclipse workspace expects all project resources to be contained under
project basedir. It may be possible to use linked resources to represent
external source and resource folders inside workspace, but I don't know
if this is actually a workable approach.

There are no plans to introduce support for source/resource folders
outside of project basedir, but I may reconsider if somebody comes up
with a convincing usecase and a quality patch that implements this.
