Description

The default lifecycle-mapping assumed by m2e changed in version 1.3. see [1]. The default for runOnIncremental is now false and as the scr-plugin does not specify otherwise in it's embedded lifecycle-mapping descriptor, it no longer is invoked when the user edits source files inside eclipse. Only when a complete rebuild of the project is triggered the plugin is executed.

The embedded lifecycle-mapping should be changed to:

<action>
  <execute>
    <runOnIncremental>true</runOnIncremental>
  </execute>
</action>
