Hi Jason, Thanks for your answer.
It's a good argument. However, the same effect could be obtained if the configuration was in another file (e.g. org.eclipse.m2e.core.prefs). I'm asking because there is a lot of criticism about the pom.xml complexity. Adding configuration that is not related to the build can make it even worse. :( Cheers, Henrique On 23/06/2011, at 21:15, Jason van Zyl wrote: > > On Jun 23, 2011, at 7:53 PM, Henrique Prange wrote: > >> Hi all, >> >> I'm playing with Eclipse Indigo and m2e for the first time.
