I'm sorry if I am asking a possibly-trivial question, but I am having so much trouble finding out exactly what Resolve Workspace Artifacts does in the Maven build window in the Eclipse IDE, using the M2Eclipse plugin. I'm referring to this:
Does anyone have any idea? I tried google-ing and stackoverflow-ing the solution; there are lots of bug requests/reports but no clear-cut descriptions of this option. Thanks for the help.
M2Eclipse provides tight integration for Apache Maven into the Eclipse IDE with the following features: Launching Maven builds from within Eclipse. Dependency management for Eclipse build path based on Maven's pom.
Assume you have two or more projects in your workspace e.g. project1
, project2
and so on. If project1
is dependent on project2
and project3
, you just need to define the dependency of project1
on project2
and project3
.
By enabling Resolve Workspace Artifacts
, m2Eclipse
will auto-build the SNAPSHOT JAR
of project2
and project3
and add in the classpath of project1
.
In other words, it resolves the dependencies with workspace projects.
