Re: [m2e-users] Best practices for includes resources outside of project base directory 
Resource references across different projects are not supported by
design. This is definitely a feature.

Resource references across different modules of the same project are not
supported because of eclipse workspace limitations -- there is no easy
way to properly support incremental build. If somebody provides a
quality patch to make this work reliable I'll be willing to consider,
but I am not sure if this is possible without eclipse platform changes,
which are NOT coming afaik.

    Thanks for the link Fred.  If I take that that directory [1] and
    import into Eclipse I get the same warning: "Access
    "/home/collin/code/m2e-test/mid/web/../../resource" directory
    outside of project base directory.
    (org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-war-plugin:2.1.1:war:default-war:package)"

    Everything still works, just an annoying warning.  Any way of
    squashing that warning?

            I have a Maven war project which includes the following for
            including some resources

            <webResources>
            <!-- Include SQL for dbmaintain -->
            <webResource>
            <directory>../../sql</directory>
            <targetPath>WEB-INF/sql</targetPath>
            <includes>
            <include>**/*.sql</include>
            </includes>
            </webResource>
            <!-- Include compiled reports -->
            <webResource>
            <directory>../../reports</directory>
            <targetPath>WEB-INF/reports</targetPath>
            <includes>
            <include>**/*.jasper</include>
            <!-- Include XSLT for reports -->
            <include>**/*.xslt</include>
            </includes>
            </webResource>
            </webResources>

            This has always worked fine in Maven (2 & 3) as well as the
            old m2eclipse.  The new m2e complains with "Access
            "/home/collin/Code/intouch.git/java/intouch-webapp/../../reports"
            directory outside of project base directory"

            I know Maven is convention over configuration but this is
            just forcing convention.  To me, putting all my Jasper
            reports and application SQL inside
            <root>/java/webapp/src/main/reports instead of
            <root>/reports is just silly.

            What are the best practices for dealing with resources that
            should be included in a WAR, but just don't make sense to
            include inside the actual Java webapp project

            Regards,
            Collin
