Basic Spring projects do not need any plugin to be built. We can only put a marker on the dependencies ! > Also, m2e only adds natures and builders, it never removes them during > configuration update. What m2e version are you using? I'm using M2E 0.12.1.20110112-1712 I confirm: for me, M2E seems destructive during the configuration update. My initial project file contains: <buildCommand> <name>org.springframework.ide.eclipse.core.springbuilder</name> <arguments> </arguments> </buildCommand> <natures> <nature>org.springframework.ide.eclipse.core.springnature</nature> </natures> These 2 entries appear just before M2E entries in the project file. And they disapear after an update Note: other <natures> & <buildCommand> are kept.
