Maven does not add classpath to Eclipse project

Question

I have a maven project, that I\'m working on Eclipse.

I use maven eclipse:eclipse to generate the classpath, but ... it NEVER adds the classpath on the eclipse proj

Answer 1

In addition to the most voted answer, you can still be left with a broken project, no 'Maven Dependencies' (Kepler) and no classpath resolution.

In my case my local maven repository settings.xml got deleted when a third party sdk updated itself, after a restart eclipse seemed to clear out the reference to that settings.xml file.

Once I put the file back and referred to it in Maven > Installations > Global Settings: /home/andy/.m2/settings.xml , cleaning each project kick-started all the necessary classpath resolution. just sharing.

For me, the resulting files looked like:

.classpath

.project
