Re: [m2e-users] proposal for a new eclipse command and project menu entr

[Stephan Herrmann <stephan.herrmann@xxxxxxxxx>]

Some improvements are available if you enable JDT's breadcrumbs [1].
With this, you can select the current project within the current editor,
and use the appropriate drop-down to find its pom.

In fact, Alt+Shift+B some lefts and some downs should do the job
without ever touching the mouse.
"Project Properties" is: Alt+Shift+B some lefts then Alt+Enter.
