Maven Project Builder is invoked every time I change a source file (GWT)

Question

I am using maven 2.2.1, gwt-maven plugin (2.4.0), Eclipse Indigo (3.7) and the m2ecl

Answer 1

The reason for the Maven build is more than likely an enabled Maven Project Builder (Project properties > Builders).

You can disable it and -- as long as you have the Java Builder selected -- Eclipse will continue to compile edited files.
