Formatting generated sources

[cpopetz]

In maven on the command line I have this plugin configured to format both the main and generated-sources folders. However, within eclipse the configuration has no effect, the plugin is mapped as ignored, and so my generated sources do not get formatted. Is there any way to achieve this?

You can override m2e data in your pom but it's tricky due to eclipse being heart of this plugin. The configure for m2e is necessary and a manual install plus version must match. So generally it's not a good idea with this specific plugin especially if sharedwith varying version of eclipse. Instead import the same config being used into eclipse formatters so you can get the same desired effect using eclipse formatting directly.

The config is imported into eclipse but as far as i can tell, and works great, but as far as I can tell there's no way to make eclipe apply it the generated sources. Eclipse is only formatting on save, which doesn't happen for generated files. I can force it to happen with a right click on target/generated-sources/annotations -> source -> format, but this is less than ideal, because each time a main source file is edited/saved, the apt plugins will regen the corresponding generated source file.
