Description Fred Bricon

Build Identifier: 

In m2e-wtp, there's a test case checking https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/MNGECLIPSE-767. The test now fails using recent versions of m2e 0.13.0 (https://grid.sonatype.org/ci/job/m2eclipse-wtp-0.13/10/jdk=java-6x,label=m2e/testReport/org.maven.ide.eclipse.wtp/WTPProjectConfiguratorTest/testLooseBuildDirectory/) 

You can check the failing test project : https://github.com/sonatype/m2eclipse-wtp/blob/master/org.maven.ide.eclipse.wtp.tests/projects/MNGECLIPSE-767/pom.xml

So, either this is intentional -which I totally understand-, in which case I'll remove the test case, or this is not and the regression needs to be fixed. 



Reproducible: Always

In the mean time, I will comment the offending test (and fix the other one that uses the same *loose* directory, it has no reason to do that) so we can get CI builds of m2e-wtp again.

There are no immediate plans to support output (or source or resource) folders that are not physically nested under project basedir on filesystem.
