[m2e-users] "Unknown packaging" error and workspace resolution doubt

[Cristiano Gavião <cvgaviao@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm creating a maven plugin that provides a new package type and created 
a test project that is using that new plugin.

I'm getting that  "Unknown packaging" error unless I install the new 
plugin in the local repository and "update maven project" the test project.

can't m2e handle plugin projects that provides new packages as it does 
for other maven projects ? or am I'm missing something ?

thanks,

Cristiano
