javaeclipsemavenm2eclipsests-springsourcetoolsuite
Why won't STS / m2eclipse track my Maven dependencies?
I use SpringSource Tool Suite (STS) with Maven + m2eclipse. On my latest project, I am facing an issue importing an existing Maven project correctly from SVN into STS. When I use import -> Maven -> 'existing Maven project', the project will import but will have the following issues:
- The
src/main/javaandsrc/test/javaare not picked up as source folders. STS will configuresrcas the source folder and main/test are added to the package names. - The Maven dependencies library is not added to the java build path.
I can manually correct the source folders, but when I try to add the 'Maven managed dependencies' library to the build path I get the message 'Use Maven Project Settings to configure Maven dependency resolution' and the library is not added. The only Maven project settings I seem to be able to set are the active profile and 'resolve dependencies from workspace projects' (checked), neither of which seem to make any difference.
If I run mvn install from the command line the project builds successfully. If I run mvn eclipse:eclipse and then import into STS, then everything works as expected, but then of course you have to re-run this every time you update the pom, which is undesirable.
I worked around it by running mvn eclipse:eclipse and then manually updating .classpath to eliminate the M2_REPO dependencies added by eclipse:eclipse and adding the m2eclipse dependency entry:
<classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.m2e.MAVEN2_CLASSPATH_CONTAINER">
<attributes>
<attribute name="org.eclipse.jst.component.dependency" value="/WEB-INF/lib"/>
</attributes>
</classpathentry>
Then I imported existing Maven project and it worked as expected. However, this is a hack and I'm not sure what other consequences running eclipse:ecplise has when working with m2eclipse.
I have worked on other maven projects and I faced no issues importing them correctly.
Possibly relevant information:
- This is a webapp project.
- The subversion repo contains only the
pom.xmland thesrcfolder. - I use an external maven installation and it is version 3.0.3
- We use an onsite Artifactory repo for artifact download
Things I have tried:
- Download from SVN to local disk then import to STS using import existing Maven project
- Import project into STS from SVN, configuration -> enable Maven nature
- Run
mvn eclipse:eclipsethen import (works but requires manual classpath edits for m2e) - Search stackoverflow, found this question which is very similar but the answers do not seem to solve my issue.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to:
- get the m2eclipse import to work correctly? OR
- configure STS to allow me to add maven managed dependecies to the build path after project creation / conversion?
Solution
The following section:
<pluginExecution>
<pluginExecutionFilter>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<versionRange>[2.3.2,)</versionRange>
<goals>
<goal>compile</goal>
<goal>testCompile</goal>
</goals>
</pluginExecutionFilter>
<action>
<ignore />
</action>
</pluginExecution>
has the unfortunate consequence of disabling the java compiler in your build. Remove it and I would imagine that things work.
I also see this:
