m2eclipse error

Question

I am developing a web application with Eclipse and I generate the project with a maven archetype.

When I enable maven dependency management, Eclipse mark some errors

Answer 1

I also had same problem with Eclipse 3.7.2 (Indigo) and maven 3.0.4.

Eclipse wasn't picking up my maven settings, so this is what I did to fix the problem:

1. Window - Preferences - Maven - Installations

   • Add (Maven 3.0.4 instead of using Embedded)
   • Click Apply & OK

2. Maven > Update Project Configuration... on project (right click)

3. Shutdown Eclipse

4. Run mvn install from the command line.

5. Open Eclipse

Those steps worked for me, but the problem isn't consistent. I've only had with issue on one computer.
