Baptiste,

if you'd looked on the m2e list, you would have seen my postings.

When the problem arose, it was not at all clear which component was to blame,
so it makes sense to post to all relevant forums.

All the best,
DaveLaw

Ron, Wayne,

this wasted several days (elapsed) of my time:
I spent ages trying out options & trying to figure out what I'd done
wrong...
...rebuilding & updating indices, hacking through to
workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.m2e.logback.configuration,
to set logging to ALL, but even ALL  was somewhat sparse.

M2E is not Maven per-se. When a question is about a particular tool, I'd
advice you to try and target the most specific ML/support system:
https://eclipse.org/m2e/support/



I tried Google & found loads of hits that had nothing to do with it.
I found nothing at apache maven or maven central or m2eclipse.
I tried the POI Forum, but it became clear that wasn't the problem.

As Wayne rightly points out "where is the right place to document it?".
With a complex issue like this with multiple components where do you start?
But thats all the more reason to document it somewhere...

Right now it seems to me not to be a maven problem as such.
Its about how maven central creates its indices & how m2e uses them.
So in theory it needs to be documented in both, correspondingly
cross-referenced.
But as the m2e FAQ is subscription-only it would seem the only place is the
maven central FAQ.  And its so important, it should be a point in its
own right:

"Why can't I see new artifacts in my client (e.g. m2eclipse)?"
(Tip -> you can get as-yet-unindexed artifacts explicitly...blah, blah)

Again, not the best ML to discuss it.


And then there's the question, why does m2e use the high-latency index?
If its performance/server-load, then it could be
a rethink of the index-structure is necessary.
Is that a maven issue?
I have some ideas there...

Definitely not Maven related. Maven core has nothing to do with the indexes
you describe, doesn't know/need it.
It's more an IDE/search engine facility to help people find versions. I
personally almost never use those for example.

Cheers
