Hello, I just started to use Maven in a new project. My IDE is Eclipse for Java EE, Helios SR1 (3.6.1) I am installing a none-free Java API, which ships all the physical dependency Java jars as well. I try to use dependencies tag in the pom.xml to automatically fill in the dependencies. I have problems finding them:
1. For example, the shipped jar is poi.jar(required version 2.5.1), but I could not find it from Eclipse, the lowest version of poi.jar in Eclipse is 3.0 and the highest version is 3.7. In this case should I choose the highest version or the most closest version? 2. www.mvnrepository.com also provides a place for developer to search dependencies, for above opi.jar, I could find version 2.5.1 from this website. In this case should I use the exact version or the eclipse version. 3. For some jars could not be found from either eclipse or mvnrepository, is there a manual way to specify the dependency?
