Hi Joel, Please cc your replies to the list as well so that other people can chip in.
It sounds like you have Maven 2 properly installed. Regarding your IDE, I don't use Eclipse myself (NetBeans is so much easier :) but most of the other GeoTools developers use it so perhaps one of them can offer advice. Meanwhile, just double check that you have followed all the steps in the Eclipse Quickstart: http://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/tutorial/quickstart/eclipse.html Also, a quick Google search comes up with many possible leads including these two: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4297533/error-while-installing-maven-integration-for-eclipse http://judygichoya.posterous.com/maven-installation-into-eclipse-1 Regarding building from the command line, it's not unknown for Maven to freeze or issue download errors when internet traffic is high. Usually the problems resolve when you try again a few minutes later. However, if you are working through a proxy server or firewall you will need to check that it's not a permission problem. Sometimes there are problems using Maven mirror repositories as well but I'm guessing that you are working with the default pom settings (which use the Maven Central repo). Let us know how you go.
