Hi Patrick, WTP does sound pretty good and I might try it out down the road. When you were using MyEclipse or maybe this actually applies to just eclipse, do you need to execute, maven eclipse goal to generate the MAVEN_REPO variables in the build path every single time you add a dependency in your project.xml?
Also, when I run maven eclipse goal and I refresh my eclipse project, it removes all my natures/capabilites (hibernate, struts, etc) for my project which is very annoying. I have to add those natures/capabilites to the project again. Does this happen to you? Thanks.
