Hi all,

To set some background resources for our test classes in maven are in a folder 
that matches the name of the unit test.

e.g  for a class com.myco.myprod.sytem.foo.bar.WhizzTest  the resources would 
be in src/test/resources/com/myco/myprod/system/foo/bar/WhizzTest/

So far so good.

But using m2e when the resources folder is added due to the inclusion/exclusion 
filter you don't get the nice "package" list under the resources - instead you 
get a tree structure.
Due to the tree structure (if you use a mouse) you need to drill down many 
layers to see what resources are in that folder - or to get to a specific 
resource.

I am well aware of the reason to have the filter (as without it you will end up 
with un maven-filtered resources in the output folder) - but I have a cunning 
plan and was wondering if there was any drawbacks - and if it could be 
implemented in a pseudo lifecycle binding or if this is something that could 
only be done in the core (if so if it was made optional would it be something 
that would be accepted into m2e)?

The cunning plan is to change the includes and excludes
from:
                Included: (All)
                Excluded: **
to:
                Included: **/.dummyFile
                Excluded: (None)

and then for each directory in the resources folder create the .dummyFile.

optionally this file can then be manually excluded from source control.

Regards,

                /James
