Hi,
FYI, the latest m2e 1.6 CI build provides a way to automatically update
out-of-date project configuration [1].
We've been experimenting it for a while, as a standalone extension provided
by JBoss Tools Playground [2], and haven't faced any issue so far. So we
have decided to turn the workspace preference on by default (Preferences >
Maven > Automatically update Maven projects configuration (experimental))
[2].
You can install the latest CI build from [4], give it a try and let us know
how it works for you, good or bad.
