Currently it is impossible to explicitly invoke maven plugins or phases via the eclipse automatic build system. Please add the ability to invoke specific maven targets during build. This feature request is a result of custom resource processing we perform. The plugin copies the resources, but does not correctly perform the variable substitution.
Running build phases as part of eclipse workspace build results very hard to troubleshoot problems with missing resources and endless builds (see [1] for more details). Standard maven-resources-plugin resource processing is expected work out of the box and custom resource processing plugins can be supported either via explicit lifecycle mapping (explained in [1]) or by custom m2e extensions (see [2] for some pointers where to start).
