在使用eclipse+m2e开发android项目时，一直被一个问题所困扰：

Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: com.jayway.maven.plugins.android.generation2:android-maven-plugin:3.5.0:manifest-update (execution: manifestUpdate, phase: process-resources) pom.xml

最近看到如下文章才算有所理解：

好了，在你的maven配置里，增加如下一段即可解决：

  <pluginManagement>
   <plugins>
    <plugin>
     <groupId>org.eclipse.m2e</groupId>
     <artifactId>lifecycle-mapping</artifactId>
     <version>1.0.0</version>
     <configuration>
      <lifecycleMappingMetadata>
       <pluginExecutions>
        <pluginExecution>
         <pluginExecutionFilter>
          <groupId>com.jayway.maven.plugins.android.generation2</groupId>
          <artifactId>android-maven-plugin</artifactId>
          <versionRange>3.5.0</versionRange>
          <goals>
           <goal>manifest-update</goal>
          </goals>
         </pluginExecutionFilter>
         <action>
          <ignore />
         </action>
        </pluginExecution>
       </pluginExecutions>
      </lifecycleMappingMetadata>
     </configuration>
    </plugin>
   </plugins>
  </pluginManagement>

其实，本质上就是让org.eclipse.m2e在做生命周期检查动作时，忽略android-maven-plugin的manifest-update,这跟m2e上提供的忽略功能是一个意思
