[m2e-users] issue attaching source for maven dependencies

[Bill Smith <nedry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just started using the Maven Eclipse plugin 0.9.8.200905041414  with Eclipse Galileo.  I have a project that has several dozen maven dependencies. I need to able to attach source either from an external folder or another workspace project so I can drill into the dependent code for debugging purposes.

I have not had much luck doing this.  If I click a class in a dependency I get a prompt to attach sources. I give it a path to the sources but nothing happens. I have also tried attaching source via the project properties screen as well as right clicking the dependency under the maven container. Had no luck either way.

Any ideas?  This makes debugging very difficult. I have searched with Google and found some similar problems but no real solution.
