What I think happen in your case is that you have your jars in Eclipse

you're correct Eugene: after "mvn clean" I catch the failure right
away in:
[INFO] compiler:compile

I wonder if it's possible to indicate to the user more precisley of
what went wrong ...
Can you please create small test project that would fail with this
error and create new JIRA issue for that? This will save us some time
and we can use it in out test suite as well.
Maven solution for jars that are not in the local repository is
to use
<system> scope and specify <location> element for such
dependencies, but
they still should be listed in pom.xml. That is not specific to
m2eclipse but general Maven feature.
thanks for the education Eugene, I didn't know of that feature.
I guess I will actually have to learn Maven in greater depth after all ;-)
your quick responding is fantastic!
how much do I owe you for that ?-)
Well, you you can create that test project above, that would be a huge
help and greatly appreciated. :-)
Thanks
Eugene
