If I update a dependency (to a new version not yet in my local repo) in my pom and then save it, then eclipse shows the "Update Maven Dependencies" for a short while, but no artifact is downloaded and the project is shown with an error as "Missing artifact bla bla" in eclipse! But if I choose "Run as-Maven package" on the project, then it executes maven externally and THEN downloads it without any problem at all! After that I just have to re-do Maven->Update Dependencies and then the project errors dissapear?!?
It should be mentioned that I due to earlier recommendations (on this mailing list) I am my external maven installation instead of using the embedded maven, but these use the same macen settings.xml!! (C:\Users\<myuser>\.m2\settings.xml in Vista) The thing is that I am pretty sure this worked properly before, maybe in a previous version of m2eclipse, but not sure... //Kent
