Burr Sutter commented on JBIDE-16343:
-------------------------------------

I think the warning for "this will also remove the Maven configuration from this project" needs to be a little more obvious.  Basically the pom.xml will be deleted and the various Maven Eclipse settings will disappear and I assume that all these libraries will be added to the Eclipse classpath for the project - so the project essentially converts from a Maven-based build to an Eclipse-based build.

I assume there is no "undo", no simple recovery mechanism, so the end-user needs a strong warning, perhaps even "do you have a backup of your project"?

> While looking at [~fbricon] doing a demo I (and [~FroMage] and [~xcoulon]) felt that "Materialize Libraries" is not a clear name for what it does.
> Why not renaming it to "Copy libraries into Project..." or "Turn into Libraries inside project..." ?
