I added an extension in my Maven Pom file, but I cannot modify the example scripts

(extracted from an e-mail from Caroline Rodier)

I have set up MATSim in Eclipse as a Maven project according to these instructions https://isis.tu-berlin.de/pluginfile.php/560134/mod_resource/content/4/first%20runs_public.pdf, and added the robotaxi module. Now I'm unable to modify the robotaxi files to create vehicles for our network and specify the config file. I'm not familiar with Maven, but it seems that the packages are read-only and not in my local system. What can I do to make the Maven packages modifiable?

Dear Caroline,

this is a Maven feature: you cannot modify the source code of the libraries you depend on (and this is a good thing). I understand you want to start working by modifying an example file. In this case, the easiest is to copy the content of this file in a file in your local source tree, rename it, and go on from there.
