Tim Hedger commented on MNGECLIPSE-124:
---------------------------------------
Having just come across the same problem I can see where both Phillipe and
Martin are coming from on this issue. The plugin does work fine; you can use a
local repository, but the problem is you have to put the settings.xml config
file for Maven in a specific place (the location specified by the property
${user.home}/.m2/settings.xml) before you can run the plugin in Eclipse to
specify where you want the repository to be. The issue from a maven
perspective being that the master configuration for maven is in the conf
subdirectory under the maven installation. So if, as I do, you have your
configuration for your repository and proxy etc in that file (e.g.
c:\maven-2.0.4\conf\settings.xml) the Eclipse plugin doesn't look there - it
insists that the settings.xml file in under ${user.home} - so in my case I have
to duplicate it. When I do that it works fine.
I think a worthwhile enhancement to the plugin would be to look for a
settings.xml file in the conf directory under the maven installation and use
that in preference - as maven itself does.
