I recently upgraded my Eclipse to Juno and am struggling with the way maven dependencies are handled.
I installed the m2e plugin. Still, many of my projects started complaining about libraries missing as if the dependencies specified in the pom were completely ignored. This happened despite right-clicking on the project, selecting Configure --> Convert to Maven project, which seems to be the replacement for what used to be "Maven --> Enable dependencies" before. When I looked at the Maven dependencies under the project directory, there were many fewer dependencies listed than in my pom.
Running a maven compile on the command line outside of Eclipse allowed my project to build and after selecting Maven --> Update project, I was able to see the dependencies added or removed accordingly to what I specified in the pom.xml.
Bottom line: maven dependencies seem to work now but I had to do some combination of operations I didn't think should have been needed:
- Configure -> Convert to Maven project
- Maven -> Update dependencies
- Run maven outside of Eclipse
To get everything to work when with previous versions of Eclipse, all I had to do was Maven -> enable dependencies. What is the equivalent of this in Juno, i.e. what is the correct way of setting up juno Eclipse to handle properly a maven project?
