[m2e-users] Fwd: Re: Maven plugin and calling buildContext.refresh(File)

Answering some of my questions:

I cannot skip executions of my mojos in the first, incremental build, because
source roots they add to Maven project will not be added to Eclipse project
at all.
It seems the first, incremental build is being executing before Eclipse project
creation, and the second, full - after. After the second one, Eclipse project
configuration does not change even if new source roots are added to Maven
project.

Am I right?

I've made some import test. There are two builds during import: one
incremental
and one full. The first one is the one you wrote about above, I think.
Can you write, why there are two builds? What is the first one for? Should I
ignore the first one (incremental), because my mojos are bound to full
builds
only:
        <execute>
          <runOnIncremental>false</runOnIncremental>
          <runOnConfiguration>true</runOnConfiguration>
        </execute>
If so, why are they called at all? Or, amybe, should I do something special
in incremental build anyway?
