Question

I have a maven plugin generating some code for eclipse to build, but I have to manually refresh the project before eclipse sees the code.

How can I make eclipse automati

Answer 1

Depending on how you run your Maven plugin, it may just refresh the project automatically. That is how it normally works in m2eclipse.

Also, you can configure a custom builder Project Properties / Builders / New... / Program and select some dummy command to run (e.g. C:\cygwin\bin\date.exe) and then configure project refresh settings.
