Re: [m2e-users] How does eclipse/m2e resolve project dependencies to other workspace projects?

If you have workspace resolution turned on for a project, it will not
use the local repo but have a dependency to the Eclipse project
instead. Pretty much how you would do it in plain Eclipse development
(bad memories).
I don't have an Eclipse instance in frt of me, but you can see this
there as the icon of the dependency is a folder-ish icon instead of
the jar (can).

But you can also turn of workspace resolution for a project.

What internal steps happen when I change that source file that results in the new code being used by the test in the referencing project?
