mvn eclipse plugin missing required source folder

[Davis Ford <da...@gmail.com>]

Hello, I have a problem getting the mvn eclipse plugin recognizing a
relative path resource directory.   Using mvn 2.0.6.  The project structure
looks like this:

editor
      ----subprojecta
           -----pom.xml
           -----src
     -----subprojectb
           -----pom.xml
           -----src
     -----conf
          -----some.config.xml
     -----pom.xml

editor is a pom only project that has:

<modules>
   <module>subprojecta</module>
   <module>subprojectb</module>
</modules>

The pom in each subproject has this:

<build>
<resources>
            <resource>
                <directory>../conf</directory>
                <includes>
                    <include>**/*</include>
                </includes>
            </resource>
        </resources>
</build>

This actually seems to work fine at runtime, b/c the code can load the xml
files it needs in each sub-project.  However, if I execute mvn
eclipse:eclipse, I get the build path error "Project subprojecta is missing
required source folder: 'D:\svn\editor\conf'.

Any idea on what I'm doing wrong here?
