Issue
Do I have to go update project first before run as maven build in Eclipse? (Refer to pics)
Update Project as seen in picture
Run as Maven build... option as seen in picture
Can I just select the run as Maven build... option? Will there be any implications if I did that?
Solution
No, it is not required to run update project before building with "Run as Maven build ...". You usually use update project to sync the Eclipse project with the content of the pom.xml. So you use it after changing something in the pom.xml.
