Hi All

We have a small undertaking with a total of about 10 individual projects 
currently. The entire thing can be build using Maven (via m2e). Nothing 
spectacular: some dependencies, protobuffer generation, compilation, etc. 
Running a full build using Maven takes a total of about 1 minute. All projects 
imported into Eclipse, Eclipse automatic building activated, m2e activated, 
full build takes about 10 minutes. While mostly the Eclipse incremental compile 
works, sometimes the Eclipse build just runs off, calling Maven to do 
‘something’ and everything gets stuck for minutes. From the Eclipse progress 
bar and from the Maven Console logs there is nothing obvious, which points 
directly to a problem, but it seems like the Eclipse build and the Maven build 
are having fun together. Maybe Maven triggering some Eclipse build and Eclipse 
back triggering some Maven build again. We have played around a bit with 
settings and order of builders, but no success so far.

So big question: how to use a maven project in Eclipse? Should the automatic 
build feature be disabled? Should the maven compile be disable? How to salvage 
as much incremental compiling as possible?

If the project would get really big, what would happen then?

Any help, hints or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,
Alex
