I used to add information in the project pom, but some OSS projects didn't
allow adding IDE specific options in the project settings.
Now, after I import a Maven project into Eclipse, whenever I find messages like
this, I simply choose the Quick-Fix option "Mark goal $GOAL as ignored in
Eclipse build in Eclipse preferences (experimental)" and this removes the
problems in Eclipse without changing pom.xml.
The downside is that I have to do that whenever I import that project in some
other computer :-(

Subject: RAT and m2e
All of a sudden, I seeing m2e problems with the RAT plugin on several
machines. It's causing an Eclipse error "Plugin execution not covered
by lifecycle configuration".
I don't understand why this has started happening to me because I don't
see any changes that are relevant.
In an attempt to stabilise m2e I've added to jena-parent/pom.xml:
<pluginExecution>
<!--
Error:
Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration
-->
<pluginExecutionFilter>
<groupId>org.apache.rat</groupId>
<artifactId>apache-rat-plugin</artifactId>
<versionRange>[0.11,)</versionRange>
<goals>
<goal>check</goal>
</goals>
</pluginExecutionFilter>
<action>
<ignore />
</action>
</pluginExecution>
which (1) seems the right thing to do and (2) fixes what I'm seeing.
Has anyone else seen this recently?
Is there a better way?
Mystified,
Andy
