Is there a way to force maven to copy resource folder changes incrementally?

I'm using Maven 2.2.1 and m2eclipse.

I have two resource folders.

When I save a change to any file in any of the resource folders, the Maven incremental build kicks off and re-copies ALL files in both resource folders to the target folders.

This behavior would be fine if there were a relatively small number of files in the resource folders - but there are enough that the copy can take several minutes.

Is there a way to force maven to be more selective in its incremental build and copy only those resources that were changed?

java maven m2eclipse

You can try updating to the latest version of m2eclipse and Maven 3. There is a new Maven plugin API that tells m2eclipse what files been affected by the Maven plugin. I believe resource plugin been updated to that API (but make sure overwrite setting is NOT set to true in resource plugin configuration).
