Maven Eclipse Plugin 2.6 Released

The Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the Maven Eclipse
Plugin, version 2.6

This plugin is used to generate Eclipse IDE files (*.classpath,
*.wtpmodules and the .settings folder) for use with a project.

http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-eclipse-plugin/

You should specify the version in your project's plugin configuration:

<plugin>
 <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
 <artifactId>maven-eclipse-plugin</artifactId>
 <version>2.6</version>
</plugin>

Known Issues:
* [MECLIPSE-443] - Only include **/*.java in Java source directories
may affect you if you use ajdt or have non-java sources in your
directories that you expect to be compiled
Release 2.6.1 (which may get renamed to 2.7) has fixed this issue and
will be released shortly.
