Description Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen

We use a lot of helper projects which have different development cycles than the main projects, so they should stay in a released state most of the time, i.e. not have a -SNAPSHOT version.

Released projects should not be modifiable.  Hence it would be good to have m2e enforce that non-SNAPSHOT projects cannot be modified, e.g. by telling Eclipse that all files in that project are read/only.  

Changing the version (and rereading the configuration from pom.xml) should reset this flag.

m2e dynamic sourcelookup extension https://github.com/ifedorenko/com.ifedorenko.m2e.sourcelookup (also available from eclipse marketplace) supports notion of 'maven binary projects', which I believe is what you want. There are no immediate plans to bring this functionality to m2e core however.
