[news.eclipse.technology.iam] Endless rebuilding in IAM Maven Builder

[ben_hutchison@xxxxxxxxx (Ben H )]

In the last few days, our project has been affected by a problem where the 
IAM Maven builder continuously rebuilds the project. After each build, 
which completes OK without errors, it pauses about 2 secs before the next 
one starts. This continues until the IDE crashes with an out of memory 
error after 30-45 mins.

Workaround: Disable auto-build. Manually build with Ctl-B as needed.

This behavior seems to be associated with a particular POM, Gmap2 from 
Wicketstuff. Its happened on 2 developer machines (Eclipse 3.4.2, IAM 0.9) 
and 2 different projects (our own, and gmap2-examples), the common factor 
being use of the Gmap2 artefacts.

Here is the details of the open source gmap2-examples project, which shows 
this behavior:

   <parent>
       <groupId>org.wicketstuff</groupId>
       <artifactId>gmap2-parent</artifactId>
       <version>1.4-SNAPSHOT</version>
   </parent>

   <artifactId>gmap2-examples</artifactId>
   <packaging>war</packaging>

   <name>GMap2 - Examples</name>
   <description>Examples gmap2 component.</description>

   </repository>

Any help appreciated...
