m2eclipse

I am facing a situation where my eclipse indigo is "Unable to update index for central|http://repo1.maven.org/maven2" . I am using an external Maven 3.0.3 installation and m2eclipse configured with Eclipse Indigo and I am definitely not behind any proxy. Also my networking configuration in eclipse is all set to direct and I am still unable to update the indices. What may I have overlooked? I have searched on Google and other forums but am unable to resolve it. From Wojtek's link. Close Eclipse Delete workspace_location/.metadata/.plugins/org.maven.ide.eclipse/nexus Delete workspace_location/

Maven is great. It mostly keeps me out of jar dependency hell by specifying versions of dependent packages in the pom configuration, and applies them automatically. It also has great integration with Eclipse via m2e, so that things work seamlessly in an IDE. This is all great for dependencies that are globally known to Maven. However, sometimes, there are libraries that need to be included in a project that is not available in the Maven repos. In this case, I usually add them to a lib/ directory in my project. As long as they are in the classpath then things compile. However, the problem is

With intent to get m2e 1.0 working correctly I have had to specify the lifecycle mapping: <pluginManagement> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.eclipse.m2e</groupId> <artifactId>lifecycle-mapping</artifactId> <version>1.0.0</version> <configuration> <lifecycleMappingMetadata> <pluginExecutions> <pluginExecution> <pluginExecutionFilter> <groupId>org.bsc.maven</groupId> <artifactId>maven-processor-plugin</artifactId> <versionRange>[2.0.2,)</versionRange> <goals> <goal>process</goal> </goals> </pluginExecutionFilter> <action> <execute /> </action> </pluginExecution> </pluginExecutions> <

I'm a beginner at Maven and I've played with it from a command line point of view a little, so now I was trying to use it in Eclipse; I installed the m2eclipse plugin to do so. But I'm stumped from the very beginning! Apparently I've missed a bit of terminology somewhere along the line. I can't keep track of all these new Maven terms... What is a Maven Project, and what is a Maven Module? These are my options when creating a new project in the Maven category in Eclipse. They are basically the same thing, but with one difference. When you create a module, you must specify a parent project. When

With the maven-eclipse-plugin, using mvn eclipse:eclipse , you can specifiy eclipse project natures and builders that will automatically be added to the eclipse project. Earlier versions of m2eclipse used the configuration block of the maven-eclipse-plugin and also let you activate natures and builders using the same mechanisms. This seems to no longer be the case because a) I can't find any reference to maven-eclipse-plugin in the m2eclipse sources and b) it just doesn't work :-) So this is my question: is there any way to configure the eclipse project generated by m2eclipse from the pom.xml?
