I have a maven project in eclipse indigo with m2e 1.2.0.20120903-1050 maven plugin. This project contains maven system dependencies, and these jar files are checked into the git repository.
This is normal until I need to switch to another branch that has changes in the system dependencies. git cannot update content because the file is locked.
The eclipse seems to be on its own or on behalf of the blocked jar libraries. I tried to close the project, but this does not help, in order to release the lock, I need to restart eclipse.
This is rather cumbersome. Is there any trick to release the lock without restarting eclipse?
