Running maven-dependency-plugin inside workspace is not supported. From
m2e wiki [1]
<quote>
Beware that m2e does not provide any safeguards against rogue maven
plugins that leak classloaders, modify random files inside workspace or
throw nasty exceptions to fail the build. Use this as the last resort
and make sure you know what you are doing.

Can you reproduce the problem without this?

I am putting together a large Eclipse RCP project using Eclipse 3.7.2, Tycho 0.15.0 and m2e
1.1 latest. On several occasions, I have seen errors along the lines of "The project is
not up to date with the pom. Run Update Project" (paraphrasing from memory). This
happens more often when updating a project from source control such as when committing
changes from one PC and updating on another. The problem is that running Maven->Update
Project... does not always resolve the problem immediately - it sometimes has to be run
twice - with no net change in any of the project data.
I've managed to extract and simplify a single small project that can be used to
repeat some of the anomalies I am seeing. This project simply repackages a
standard jar library (Log4j) as an OSGi plug-in. There may be better ways to do
this, and as an aside I'd be interested to hear them, but this is really
irrelevant for now as I get similar issues with a larger multi-package
maven-structured Java project too.
The attached .zip contains the necessary Eclipse project files.
1. Create a new general project (File->New->Project... then General->Project)
2. Copy the contents of the .zip to the project (overwriting the existing
.project file).
3. Right-click project, choose Run As->Maven build
4. In the 'Edit Configuration' dialogue, type 'package' into the Goals field
5. Click 'Refresh' tab; click 'Refresh resources upon completion'
6. Click 'Run'
Maven should now download some artifacts and build the OSGi version of the
Log4j library.
Next, open the .classpath from the project so you can see what happens during
the next steps. (If you can't see .classpath, open the Package Explorer menu -
the down-pointing white triangle - and select 'Filters...'. In the next
dialogue, uncheck '.* resources' and click OK.)
Now here is the weird behaviour...
a. Right-click the project and select 'Maven->Update Project...'. Click OK
in the next dialogue.
b. Notice what happens to the contents of .classpath
Repeat steps a and b a few more times and notice how eventually the project
toggles between two states, one of which is OK (but contains more than
necessary) and the other which has errors - the .classpath only references a
'classes' folder (that is also not necessary), but loses the reference to the
needed library.
I'm not sure if this is purely an m2e bug or an understanding/configuration
issue that has caused m2e to behave strangely. Any help gratefully received.
(NB: although I'm using m2e 1.1 latest from sonatype's repo, I'm seeing similar
issues with m2e 1.0 from eclipse.org).
Dave.
P.S. In case anyone can't access the .zip file, I've listed the 5 files that
seed the Eclipse project below
