I have no knowledge of the intera of Eclipse or m2e, but I do not see why it shall be so hard to explain to the m2e plugin source code that a newly invented <refreshGuiFolderViewOnJustThisFolderAfterBuildIsCompletelyDone> pom tag (with the folder name as child) shall simply update the UI, while I as a human should be able to do exactly this? The only reason I can think of is that the Eclipse IDE does not trigger such an event (which I do not assume).

As far as I (intuitively) understands it, there is quite a difference between inserting a refresh step in a build process and manually requesting a refresh after the build is done. The build process, in eclipse or maven, is complex. Refreshing an output file can trigger other actions. For instance, if your dynamic folder contains java source (as it is my case), it might trigger a build. When you process that yourself, you know that it is ok for your case. And that you can safely just "refresh". You refresh only *once* and *after* the build is finished. You will not constantly refresh, after each build, but just when you need it. That can be something difficult to explain to a computer.
