how do I add apache commons logging using the maven2 with eclipse?

I can\'t seem to find apache common logging when using eclipse w/maven2 plugin.

Answer 1

Do you know that the m2eclipse plugin can search some indexed repositories, like central? For example, if you right-click on your project and go to Maven > Add Dependency, you can use it like this:

And this will add this to your pom:

  commons-logging
  commons-logging
  1.1.1

Another option is to use one of the numerous repository search engine, for example:

http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails|commons-logging|commons-logging|1.1.1|jar
