I am very new to the Maven. I am trying to install m2e plugin in my Eclipse (eclipse-jee-helios-SR1-win32) from the Eclipse Marketplace. My Eclipse folder is in c:\ (c:\eclipse). It downloads and installs it properly (at least it looks so!) and then ask to restart Eclipse. I do restart it. But as soon as it restarts, it starts downloading some stuff and I get the following error:
eclipse.buildId=M20100909-0800

Does anyone has ANY idea what is this? I repeated the process thrice, repeated on fresh installation of Eclipse, same problem. My colleague is using same version of Eclipse and has done the same process. He was able to install m2e in < 1 minute! This is so frustrating!
EDIT 1:
I have configured Proxy Settings in Eclipse Network Connections and those settings are working fine for my colleagues. So I guess it is not a proxy issue.
Found simple solution. Just did an update for Eclipse and it worked!
