[m2] Problems with pom.xml and Eclipse + WTP XML Editor vs. Ant Editor
I know this is an Eclipse problem, but I'm wondering if anybody else
using m2 and Eclipse+WTP is seeing this problem, and if they've found
a workaround.
Normally my pom.xml file is associated with the XML editor from the
Web Tools Project (WTP) plugin. However, it seems to get "taken over"
by the Ant Editor when I add a the line: <target>1.4</target> in
build/plugins/configuration section.
In other words, the following uses the XML Editor (which is what I want):
<project>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<configuration>
<source>1.4</source>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>
But the following makes it switch to the Ant Editor:
<project>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<configuration>
<source>1.4</source>
<target>1.4</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>
It appears that Eclipse tries to analyze and XML file, and if it
contains a 'target' element within a 'project' element (no matter how
nested...) it treats it as an Ant file...

I have solved the problem somewhat drastically - by removing
org.apache.ant_1.6.5 plugin from Eclipse's plugins/ directory, as I
don't use Ant (I am using Eclipse 3.1 bundled with WTP 0.7).
Hope this helps,

Thanks for the tip. That only seems to apply to reporting of
"problems" by the Ant editor. It still doesn't let me edit the file
with WTP properly. It still associates the file with the Ant editor,
and when I manually open the file with the WTP editor, it doesn't
recognize it as XML properly, and is useless...

This is a known and annoying bug/feature in the Eclipse Ant editor. Go to
the preferences, Ant / Editor / Problems and add "pom.xml" to the names
field.
