Maven and Eclipse problem - looking for resources

Question

I have a problem, that maven is looking for resources inside of Eclipse installation folder.

It is saying:

This file was not found: file:/C:/eclipse/         


        

Answer 1

I had similar problems a few weeks ago. I changed the classpath to get stuff to work but that is not really a fix, only a workaround, so I wasn't very happy about it.

After a while a colleague recommended SpringSource Tool Suite (sts) http://www.springsource.com/products/sts

It's a Eclipse based IDE by SpringSource, it has much better Maven support. Since I made the switch everything works great. And since it is based on Eclipse I didn't have to learn a whole new IDE and everything that works for Eclipse works for STS
