That worked like a charm. And no need to touch settings.xml Thank you Rafal

The trick is to use: <profile> <id>m2e</id> <activation> <property> <name>m2e.version</name> </property> </activation> <!-- ... --> </profile> The profile is activated automatically when m2e.version system property is defined.

The goal is to make the project run locally using Equinox so that i can debug it. I need to copy the dependencies to a destination folder so that i can use that folder in a custom target platform to run the project. The issue i have here is that i need to do this ONLY when in eclipse. i.e. only when m2e is the one in charge. Is there a way to specify actions that only m2e will execute but that are ignored outside of m2e when running maven in the CI? My current solution is just using maven profiles and it looks like this. This is a snippet of my POM <pluginManagement> <plugins> <!--This plugin's configuration is used to store Eclipse m2e settings only. It has no influence on the Maven build itself. --> <plugin> <groupId>org.eclipse.m2e</groupId> <artifactId>lifecycle-mapping</artifactId> <version>1.0.0</version> <configuration> <lifecycleMappingMetadata> <pluginExecutions> <pluginExecution> <pluginExecutionFilter> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId> <versionRange>[2.5.1,)</versionRange> <goals> <goal>copy-dependencies</goal> </goals> </pluginExecutionFilter> <action> <execute> <runOnIncremental>false</runOnIncremental> <runOnConfiguration>true</runOnConfiguration> </execute> </action> </pluginExecution> </pluginExecutions> </lifecycleMappingMetadata> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </pluginManagement> </build> <profiles> <profile> <id>developer</id> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.5.1</version> <executions> <execution> <id>copy-dependencies</id> <phase>process-resources</phase> <goals> <goal>copy-dependencies</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> </build> </profile> </profiles> As you can see, the idea is just to have a profile that is not enabled in a CI and I also specified <runOnIncremental>false</runOnIncremental> and <runOnConfiguration>true</runOnConfiguration> in the lifecycle-mapping plugin so that m2e doesn't execute the copy-dependencies on incremental builds Does this make sense? is there a better way to specify an action as being in the "m2e scope" instead of using maven profiles? the only small inconvenience with my workaround is that if I were to run maven locally in the CLI (no m2e) it would also copy the dependencies since the profile is activated at the system level in the maven settings, but outside of eclipse/m2e, this step is useless. I also like to avoid maven profiles if possible I'm using Eclipse 4.2.1, maven 3.0.4 and m2e 1.2 Thanks for your help DISCLAIMER: Privileged and/or Confidential information may be contained in this message.
