I'm definitely neither the Maven nor the Eclipse expert, but let me give it
a go:

If I understand correctly you are looking for a seamless integration between
Eclipse and Maven. I read somewhere that Jason van Zyl is working on an
Eclipse plugin (something like MevenIDE); I have no idea if what you are
describing here is in the scope of that plugin.

Also you might try to refresh the projects after having run the
eclipse:eclipse command. If that doesn't work, try deleting your projects in
Eclipse (make sure that you indicate to 'NOT delete your contents') and
Import them again. But, in this case, maybe restarting Eclipse is an easier
way out!

On the other hand, I don't think that dependencies of a project are changed
regularly. Normally you set those up in the beginning of a project and maybe
in the future you adapt them for newer versions of the libraries. In this
light, I consider the need for restarting Eclipse not that big an issue.

Cheers,
Franck

Subject: Restarting Eclipse 3.1.1 to add dependencies to m2?

I'm using maven 2 and eclipse 3.1.1.

Here is what I am doing and it works but it is tedious:
(1) I go to the repository browser and find the artifacts I want.
(2) I manually add the groupIds and artifactIds to the pom.xml
(3) I exit eclipse
(4) I run "mvn package"
(5) I run "mvn eclipse:eclipse"
(6) I start up eclipse again and observe the new artifacts in package
explorer.

Is there an easier way? It seems to me that I should be able to drag and
drop from the repository browser to the pom.xml and the package explorer
should automatically download the new artifacts. Do I really have to restart
eclipse all the time?

Thanks,
Siegfried
