Yeah the versions match :)
Maven is not m2eclipse. The Maven CLI is not going to be able to
build
anything if you don't have it installed. The CLI and m2eclipse's
operation inside Eclipse are two separate things.
So when, in Eclipse, I do:
Run As -> Maven Build
Is that invoking the CLI or is m2eclipse doing the work? If it's
actually invoking the CLI, then that's the reason, but if m2eclipse is
doing the work, I would expect it to find my workspace dependencies
during the build. (Which it's not)
When you are executing a build the default is to use the embedder and
_not_ use artifacts in the workspace. You have to enable that in the
run configurations. There is a toggle for that. But whether the
embedded version of external version of Maven is used it's the CLI
code that is called.
But this only affects Maven and Maven plugins that you are working on,
not your dependent projects. Maven executes as it normally would from
the command line. Maven itself cannot resolve artifacts in your
Eclipse workspace.
Does that make sense?
Thanks again,
Lincoln

People develop abstractions by generalizing from concrete examples.
Every attempt to determine the correct abstraction on paper without
actually developing a running system is doomed to failure. No one
is that smart. A framework is a resuable design, so you develop it by
looking at the things it is supposed to be a design of. The more
examples
you look at, the more general your framework will be.
