I did look through it once and tried to refer to even in this case, but it was one of those things where I didn't even really know where to look since wasn't sure of the exact cause. > Try this on the command line: > mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-eclipse-plugin:2.7:eclipse > > Perfect!

Although even looking at that schema it makes it difficult for me as a newb to look at and say "ok from that schema create the pluginManagement definition as you did above. *So the only last question I have 'Where did things go wrong in my attempt to use mvn eclipse:eclipse?' Even if I run just a simple archetype jar (no dependency on my company repo) and then run mvn eclipse:eclipse without declaring the version like you mentioned I'll get the issue, so I guess it's something wrong with the eclipse 2.8 snapshot not being in the public repo? I would think that if I went to the maven eclipse plugin info http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-eclipse-plugin/eclipse-mojo.html that it would mention the help you gave me (declaring the version in my pom or settings) since I would think others would run into the same issues as myself (or else I guess everyone is just more up-to-speed and instantly knows what to do.:) > As a last point I would like you to talk to your local Maven people as > well. > They know > your local environment and should be able to help you.

Thanks again for your help. I did learn a LOT through this whole ordeal.
