[m2e-users] Endless updating and rebuilding - how to stop this frenzy?

[<michael.moser@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I fear I have stepped into the infamous endless rebuild loop that already drove thousands of Eclipse users away to IntelliJ. ☹

I am experiencing HOURS-long “Updating Maven Project” & Rebuilding Workspace loops which only end up again in all projects being marked with a red marker “Project configuration is not up-to-date with pom.xml Select Maven -> Update bla-bla….” Just before seconds later this whole thing starts again. This is clearly unacceptable!

 

When I unfold the user operations it seems that there are mainly JPA Facet File Change Event Handler and - to a lesser extent – JPA Project Change Event Handler waiting and running – and on top always “Updating Maven Project”.

 

While my projects do use JPA I haven’t anything JPA/Hibernate/DB-related for weeks! So why does this suddenly run havoc?

What are the steps to do and settings to tick off or change to break out of this vicious loop?
