*I have set Window -> Preferences -> Maven -> Installed to a external 2.2.1 instance and have enabled this as the default maven instance. But, whatever "24/05/10 9:50:53 AM: Maven Builder: AUTO_BUILD" is - it still using the 3.0-SNAPSHOT embedded maven instance. It refuses to use the external maven (2.2.1) instance I have configured. I have deliberately set the enforcer to Maven 2.2.1 so that this doesn't happen (+1 for enforcer actually working, CHEERS).* * * http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/m2eclipse-faq.html#17
Why is it working from the command line but not in m2eclipse Because m2eclipse is using the embedded Maven runtime<http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/m2eclipse-faq.html#version.html> in Maven 3.0, you can see differences in the execution between m2eclipse and command line when Maven 2.1.x is used. We hope that such regressions and incompatibilities will be fixed in the future releases of Maven 3.0. Note that m2eclipse is always using embedded Maven runtime when running Maven builder, importing projects and updating project configuration, however you can configure m2eclipse to use external Maven installation when launching Maven using "Run as… / Maven XXX" actions. The above statement seems incorrect... I can't clearly can't configure m2eclipse to use an external maven instance for the AUTO_BUILD. In fact, I tried to uninstall the "Maven Embedded v3.0.0.200912160759" but Haahahaha it say's it's required by other plugins - indicating that m2eclipse really is dependent on 3.0-SNAPSHOT. I just want to use eclipse 2.2.1, how can I do this? Can I rollback to an old version of m2eclipse? Life is very painful for everyone on my dev team right now :'( Any help would be most appreciated, cheers. --AH
