Cannot search for artifact in Eclipse Kepler using m2e plugin
eclipse, eclipse-kepler, m2e, maven
Solution
I had similar situation and by googling for a while i found out that this is most likely because your central Repository index might never have been updated. For this what you can do is
- Go to Window > Show View > Other > type Maven in filter and select Maven Repositories.
- In Maven Repositories tab Expand Global Repositories, Right-click on central and Update Index.
also you can set up index to update on eclipse startup Windows > Preferences > Maven and check "Download repository index updates on startup".
Hope this helps some one else.
Problem
I tried the new Eclipse Kepler that already comes with a maven plugin. But when I want to add a dependency (open the pom.xml, go to dependencies tab and click add) I can input some string like "jetty" in the search box but nothing happens. In older versions I got a list of all dependencies containing "jetty". I don't know if this is important but I directly get an info when opening the "add dependency screen": "Artifact Id cannot be empty". I do not use a proxy or have any network issues. I also missed an information something like: "indexing maven repo..." Any idea? Thanks!
