classpath container issues

[Ch...@aami.com.au]

Given this fragment:

<classpathContainers>
    <classpathContainer>
org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER/org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.launcher.StandardVMType/WebSphere 
v6.1 JRE</classpathContainer>
    <classpathContainer>
org.eclipse.jst.server.core.container/com.ibm.ws.ast.st.runtime.runtimeTarget.v61/was.base.v61
</classpathContainer>
    <classpathContainer>org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.internal.module.container</
classpathContainer>
</classpathContainers>

running mvn eclipse:eclipse will generate the appriate .classpath file:

<classpath>
  <classpathentry kind="src" path="src/main/java"/>
  <classpathentry kind="src" path="src/test/java" output=
"target/test-classes"/>
  <classpathentry kind="output" path="target/classes"/>
  <classpathentry kind="con" path=
"org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER/org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.launcher.StandardVMType/WebSphere 
v6.1 JRE"/>
  <classpathentry kind="con" path=
"org.eclipse.jst.server.core.container/com.ibm.ws.ast.st.runtime.runtimeTarget.v61/was.base.v61"
/>
  <classpathentry kind="con" path=
"org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.internal.module.container"/>
  <classpathentry kind="var" path=
"M2_REPO/junit/junit/3.8.1/junit-3.8.1.jar" sourcepath=
"M2_REPO/junit/junit/3.8.1/junit-3.8.1-sources.jar"/>
</classpath>

Any dependencies listed in the POM will all be added as a variable 
extension using the M2_REPO variable.

This leads me to a question.

We can specify the classpath container entries, fine, and that works.

However, doesn't this conflict with the dependencies section (which in 
turn generates the .classpath entries which will result in duplicate 
entried).

Adding in the classpath container entries fine fine from within eclipse.

However, what happens when you are attempting to build the app outside of 
eclipse (ie, from Hudson or other similar CI tool).

I do not have a good handle on how all of this is meant to work.
