eclipse - Could not calculate build plan :artifact org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:pom:2.4.3 is not available in the local repository

Question

I have a spring maven 2 project. I built it in terminal and everything is ok, I got build success, but when trying to import it to eclipse I got this error:

Could not calculate build plan: The repository system is offline but the artifact org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:pom:2.4.3 is not available in the local repository.

although I am getting build success in terminal and projects run fine. I made maven offline in eclipse, and disabled download index on startup any ideas why I am getting this error?

Answer 1

If you want to use maven from your local installation instead of the embedded version that comes with m2e, You have to do this

• Windows ==> Preferences ==> Maven ==> Installations ==> Click Add (select your local maven installation directory)
