I just installed the latest m2eclipse 0.0.11.20070916 plugin and am encountering two errors. I'm describing the first error in this email and the second in a seperate email as to keep the threads seperate.
Problem Description: The plugin reports it's unable to parse any valid settings.xml files. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to the menu "Window->Preferences" 2. Click on "Maven" on the left hand side. 3. Click the "Refresh Settings" button. 4. Click the "Apply" button. 5. Observe the error at the top of the window: "Unable to parse user settings file" Trouble Shooting Steps Already Performed: 1. Verified the settings file referenced in the "User Settings File" text field exists. It points to "C:\Documents and Settings\DT70884\.m2\settings.xml" 2. Verified Maven 2.0.7 builds just fine using this settings file. 3. Verified the settings file is valid. 4. Created a trivial settings file with just <settings></settings>. Same error. 5. Created a slightly less trivial, but still trivial file. Same error. 6. Removed the xschema information from the file. Same error. 7. Tried a blank file. Same error. 8. Tried no file. Different error, but error none the less. New error reads: "User configuration is invalid" 9. No exceptions get logged to the eclipse error log. Basically, it appears that no matter what the settings.xml file contains, the plugin rejects it. My Questions for the Mailing List: + I'd like to get at least 1 other person to try the steps to recreate above and confirm the problems do indeed happen for them. + Should I go ahead and open a JIRA issue for this. + Will this keep my plugin from working properly? Thanks, Doug Bateman
