[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-94?page=comments#action_69128 ]
Stephen Duncan Jr commented on MECLIPSE-94: ------------------------------------------- Well, I generally have a POM project in eclipse to use for interacting with CVS or SVN for the top-level pom project. However, I generally check-out through Eclipse also, which creates the .project file for me. So this is no longer a major concern for me. However, the original request seems to have to do with using "pom" packaging for an integration-test project. I can't really speak to that use case. > Allow eclipse:eclipse to work on pom (and other) projects > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MECLIPSE-94 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-94 > Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin > Type: Improvement > Versions: 2.1 > Reporter: Felipe Leme > > > I'm creating a Java EE project based on the m2book (which I was reviewing; > it's not available yet...) and one of the projects is a pom-packaging project > used for integration tests.
