I'm using m2eclipse as my maven 2 plugin for eclipse. I'm brand new to maven, so my mistake might be simple, although searching has not yielded any solutions for me. I can run maven from the command line and it build successfully. However if I import as an existing maven project, or use mvn eclipse:eclipse and then import I get the artifacts not found in my POM file resulting in no maven dependencies being loaded at all.
What's odd is that I have 2 projects, both children to a parent pom packaged project. One child loads all my maven dependencies while the other cannot find any and says my pom file is missing artifacts. Again, I can install and package them all just fine from the command line.
I even tried loading my projects into netbeans which worked flawlessly, however I am required to use eclipse.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Update
Directory structure, pom files layout:
--main
--pom.xml (is a pom package that is the parent to two other projects)
--ProjectA
--pom.xml
--ProjectB
--pom.xml
Main is the parent project of both ProjectA and ProjectB. ProjectB has ProjectA as a dependency. Apprently m2eclipse is not happy about that depedency. As soon as I remove the dependency of ProjectA from ProjectB's pom file all the maven dependencies are found by eclipse.
- com.company.myproj:app:6.6.0:jar Missing: ---------- 1) com.company.myproj:main:pom:${myproj.version} ---------- 1 required artifact is missing. for artifact: com.company.myproj:main:pom:$
{myproj.version} from the specified remote repositories: apache-incubating (http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-incubating-repository/, releases=true, snapshots=true), central (http://
repo1.maven.org/maven2, releases=true, snapshots=false)
However, I still need ProjectB to have that dependency for ProjectA. The error message seems to be m2eclipse looking for ProjectA in a remote repo. Project A should only be in .m2 directory, but I'm not sure how to tell m2eclipse to look there.
I think this may be just a m2eclipse specific issue because using mvn from the command line works fine and like I said previously, netbeans loads the projects and dependencies just fine.
