[m2e-users] Adding new sub-modules

[Günter Ladwig <guenter.ladwig@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm having a problem with m2eclipse (using Eclipse Indigo) with a multi-module project configuration. We have a parent project with multiple sub-modules in a hierarchical layout. These appear as separate projects in Eclipse (as expected). 

The problem: if somebody else adds a new sub-module and commits to SVN, this module will not appear as a separate Eclipse project after a SVN update. Is there a way to make m2eclipse rescan the parent POM and create sub-modules accordingly? I tried adding the sub-module myself, but couldn't because the "resource already exists". The (very tedious) workaround is to delete the whole project and check out everything again. Hopefully there is a better way?

Cheers,
Günter
