Description Michael Osipov CLA 2011-04-01 05:13:24 EDT 
Build Identifier: 20110301-1815

There is no need to creat the MANIFEST.MF file when importing an existing project. This will be autogenerated by Maven anyway.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Import a project
2. wait for project config
3. you'll see that your project is marked as dirty because a MANIFEST.MF has been created

This one is related to: https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/MECLIPSEWTP-66
Comment 2 Igor Fedorenko CLA 2011-04-01 09:05:27 EDT 
I don't see this problem with recent m2e 0.13 builds. Feel free to reopen if you can provide standalone sample project and steps to reproduce the problem using clean 0.13 install (i.e. "for java developers" eclipse distribution 3.7M6).
Comment 3 Michael Osipov CLA 2011-04-01 11:08:53 EDT 
Just verified. Seems to be fixed in 0.13-SNAPSHOT. Is this is going to be provided for 3.6 too?
Comment 4 Igor Fedorenko CLA 2011-04-01 11:11:04 EDT 
Yes, 0.13 will work with 3.6.2 and 3.7. You can install SNAPSHOT builds from subfolders of https://repository.sonatype.org/content/repositories/forge-sites/m2e/0.13.0/N/ (each build is published to a separate subfolder)
