[news.eclipse.technology.m2e] Re: Files from resource folders?

[Igor Fedorenko <igor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is a visual illusion ;-) M2E creates several workspace projects 
that overlap the same physical filesystem directory structure.

Personally, I like it this way, because I can perform filesystem-centric 
operations, like synchronize with repository, using single parent 
project, yet, have individual modules as separate projects for proper 
build lifecycle, dependency management and so on.

At the same time, there is a way to hide module folders from parent 
project. Assuming you're using Eclipse 3.4 and a recent 0.9.9 dev build 
(maybe 0.9.8 already had it), you can enable experimental 
Window->Preferences->Maven->Hide Folders of Physically Nested Modules. 
You will have to re-import your projects into workspce after you 
enable/disable this feature.
