m2Eclipse plugin: What does ‘Resolve Workspace Artifacts’ do?

Assume you have two or more projects in your workspace e.g. project1, project2 and so on. If project1 is dependent on project2 and project3, you just need to define the dependency of project1 on project2 and project3.

By enabling Resolve Workspace Artifacts, m2Eclipse will auto-build the SNAPSHOT JAR of project2 and project3 and add in the classpath of project1.

In other words, it resolves the dependencies with workspace projects.
