How to fix m2eclipse plugin?

Question

I have java maven project in Eclipse that depends from other projects and for near 1000 library jar. But I cannot use m2eclipse at all. For create Eclipse project is use eclipse maven plugin like:

 mvn eclipse:eclipse -Dwtpversion=1.5

It works well. But when I go to Eclipse and click on m2eclipe - update dependencies - all library jars disappear! So for work I have disabled java projects as maven in Eclipse. I suppose that there is some problem with eclipse internal variables. Does it correct? What have I check? Does exist some log? Or this is common bug of m2eclipse plugin? Thanks.

Answer 1

maven eclipse plugin (ie mvn eclipse:eclipse) no longer works with m2eclipse or its current version, m2e .

Assuming you have the latest Eclipse (Indigo, which comes with m2e), you should have better success opening the maven project directly (Import as Maven project).
