I’m sorry if I am asking a possibly-trivial question, but I am having so much trouble finding out exactly what Resolve Workspace Artifacts does in the Maven build window in the Eclipse IDE, using the M2Eclipse plugin. I’m referring to this:

Does anyone have any idea? I tried google-ing and stackoverflow-ing the solution; there are lots of bug requests/reports but no clear-cut descriptions of this option. Thanks for the help.
Assume you have two or more projects in your workspace e.g.
project1,project2and so on. Ifproject1is dependent onproject2andproject3, you just need to define the dependency ofproject1onproject2andproject3.By enabling
Resolve Workspace Artifacts,m2Eclipsewill auto-build theSNAPSHOT JARofproject2andproject3and add in the classpath ofproject1.In other words, it resolves the dependencies with workspace projects.
