Applies POM.xml configuration defined against the maven-eclipse-plugin to m2e eclipse projects. Using this plugin it is possible to define additional eclipse settings in a consistent manner whilst retaining back compatibily with users that do not run eclipse with m2e.
Some common examples for this include:
- Configuring project specific settings (such as auto-formatting code on save)
- Applying additional natures to projects (for example the Spring nature)
- Enabling specific project facets suchs as JSF
(See the samples directory for example projects)
NOTE: maven-eclipse-plugin goals are expected to be executed manually and must not be bound to any lifecycle.
The following configuration parameters are supported by this plugin:
- additionalBuildCommands
- additionalProjectNatures
- additionalProjectFacets
- additionalConfig
