Eclipse Maven dependency error

Question

Hi

I tried to import existing plugin project.

I did "mvn eclipse:clean eclipse:eclipse" build was successfull. However when I import the project into eclipse I get errors in pom file, attached is the image of errors.

Can you please let me know how to resolve.

Thanks

Abe

This appears to be related to the JVM with which Eclipse is being started and a bug in the Maven eclipse integration.

See this stackoverflow answer: http://stackoverflow.com/a/23129154/265582

Try adding a -vm parameter (before the -vmargs parameter) in your eclipse.ini file pointing the VM explicitly to the javaw.exe binary - for example I have:

-vm
C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.7.0_51/jre/bin/javaw.exe

In mine which now appears to be correctly compiling the code (although now there are different errors but this one is resolved at least).

Hi,

I have the same error as you, and really don't know why :

Project build error: Unresolveable build extension: Plugin com.atlassian.maven.plugins:maven-jira-plugin:4.2.20 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Could not find artifact com.sun:tools:jar:1.6 at specified path C:\Program Files\Java\jre6/../lib/tools.jar

It was pointing to Maven which is not in SDK, Had to change that. It resolved all errors except at first line, it still shows this:

Multiple annotations found at this line:
    - Project build error: Unresolveable build extension: Plugin com.atlassian.maven.plugins:maven-jira-plugin:4.0 or one of its 
     dependencies could not be resolved: Could not find artifact com.sun:tools:jar:1.5 at specified path C:\Program Files\Java\jre6/../lib/tools.jar
    - Project build error: Unknown packaging: atlassian-plugin

I am able to compile..
