New Revision: 1677350
URL: http://svn.apache.org/r1677350
Log:
o Add a description that suggests using m2e instead of maven-eclipse-plugin,
albeit acknowledging that there are still project setups where m-eclipse-p is
more suitable.

+ The Maven Eclipse Plugin is used to generate Eclipse IDE files (*.classpath,
+ *.project, *.wtpmodules and the .settings folder) for use with a project.
- Note: Starting at version 2.6, by default, the generated .classpath now
includes "**/*.java" for source directories
- and excludes "**/*.java" for resource directories. See the example on
-
{{{./examples/specifying-source-path-inclusions-and-exclusions.html}specifying
source path inclusions and exclusions}}
- for more details on how to change this behavior.
+ <<Disclaimer:>> Users are advised to use m2e, the
{{{https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.m2e}Eclipse Maven
Integration}}
+ instead of this plugin, as it can more closely resemble the actual build and
runtime classpaths as described in the
+ project pom.xml - among other advantages. However, there are project setups
and workflows that still work more
+ efficiently with statically generated Eclipse metadata - for example when
there is a large number of projects in
+ a reactor. That's where the Maven Eclipse Plugin can still help you.
