To create a multi-module project which uses a single openapi3 description to create a WAR for the REST service, a client which can call the service and a model which can be used wherever the client is used.
In eclipse, when Project->Build Automatically is selected, the builder goes into an endless loop. In the Maven Workspace Build view, all the projects are listed and the delta node contains one or more class names.
This project contains 3 modules: model, client and war. Each uses openapi-generator-maven-plugin to generate the required resources. This example is just the bare bones - no further implementation is contained. However, when loaded into eclipse, it should show the endless loop problem.
I originally posted a question on StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67022024/multi-module-maven-project-builds-continuously-in-eclipse.
Note: I had thought a few times that I had solved the problem but after making small changes the whole thing kicked off again. I have not been able to localise the problem. Also, I have not been able to find a useful description of what the Maven Workspace Build view is actually telling me.
