Just stumbled over this wonderful fork of already retired eclipse-maven plugin. Thanks for making this work!
I have the requirement to patch the generated .project to add a filteredResources tag at the end in order to exclude the node_modules directory containing symlinks to other projects.
This manual config works for me:
<filteredResources>
<filter>
<id>1552897905771</id>
<name></name>
<type>10</type>
<matcher>
<id>org.eclipse.ui.ide.multiFilter</id>
<arguments>1.0-name-matches-false-false-node_modules</arguments>
</matcher>
</filter>
</filteredResources>
However, when calling again mvn eclipse:eclipse this is discarded again. Any chance to get it down in the plugin?
