Sergiu,

If you think I should never need to maintain two Git clones I might be
missing something obvious. Let's say I want to use the m2e approach for
selective debugging, and the import existing projects approach (non-m2e) for
global code browsing. If I run mvn eclipse:eclipse it will create Eclipse
metadata files in the Git projects, and this metadata is specific to the
previously done Maven command line build. If I then use m2e to attempt to
import Maven projects from the same clone the import will try to create its
own Eclipse project metadata in the Git clone, which I would think is
incompatible with the project metadata from mvn eclipse:eclipse. Or, I'm
hopelessly confused and a lost cause :-)

You should never have to maintain two different clones.
