Re: [m2e-users] [m2e-wtp] WAR classes dependency is missing

[Harald Wellmann <hwellmann.de@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm currently using attached classes and no overlay, as I don't want
the web resources from the dependent project to appear in the using
project.

So I'll try the m2.profile approach, and if that fails, I'll factor
out the common classes to a separate project.

m2e not supporting classifiers with workspace resolution: is that an
inherent restriction of Eclipse, or worth a feature request for
m2e...?
