Issue
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?
Solution
If your pom is not specific as to the version of the maven-resources-plugin, that version will come from the superpom. By default, m2e uses an embedded copy of Maven 3.0.x. If the superpom there points to 2.4.3 and your 'outside-of-Eclipse' version asks for something else, then the Maven inside of Eclipse will go looking for 2.4.3 and fail due to the 'offline'.
Fix by configuring m2e to use the Maven installation you are using outside, or turning off 'offline' for one build.
