Max Bowsher commented on MECLIPSE-230: -------------------------------------- I do not know about J2ME, but for J2SE development, exporting seems to be unnecessary, and potentially even harmful: If you have a group of interdependent projects, configured with the maven-eclipse-plugin, Maven will already have resolved the complete set of required dependencies and added them to each project's classpath - no exports needed. The potential for harm is: Maven may have resolved different versions of various dependencies in each project. Exports will thus result in multiple versions of the same jar being present on the classpath. > Classpath entries to be marked exported > --------------------------------------- > > Key: MECLIPSE-230 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-230 > Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: dependency resolution > Affects Versions: 2.1 > Reporter: Vlad Skarzhevskyy > Assignee: fabrizio giustina > Fix For: 2.5 > > > Generated .classpath entries of kind "var" need to be marked exported by > default so that referenced projects have visibility to them.
