Re: [m2e-users] Dependencies with classifiers not working

[Andrew Eisenberg <andrew@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would be surprised if this problem has anything to do with STS, but
you never know and it would be good to try to reproduce the problem in
a vanilla Eclipse install.  FWIW, I tried to naively reproduce
jacquie's bug using this simple pom file, but could not.

It would be very helpful if you could send over a failing project.

Here's the pom that I used.  It correctly found the dependencies in
the .m2 directory.  Could there be something else going on with your
configuration causing maven to look for dependencies in odd places?
