title: m2eclipse not finding maven dependencies, artifacts not found
body: <p>I'm using m2eclipse as my maven 2 plugin for eclipse.  I'm brand new to maven, so my mistake might be simple, although searching has not yielded any solutions for me.  I can run maven from the command line and it build successfully.  However if I import as an existing maven project, or use mvn eclipse:eclipse and then import I get the artifacts not found in my POM file resulting in no maven dependencies being loaded at all.</p>
  
  <p>What's odd is that I have 2 projects, both children to a parent pom packaged project.  One child loads all my maven dependencies while the other cannot find any and says my pom file is missing artifacts.  Again, I can install and package them all just fine from the command line.</p>
  
  <p>I even tried loading my projects into netbeans which worked flawlessly, however I am required to use eclipse.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas on how to fix this?</p>
  
  <h2>Update</h2>
  
  <p>Directory structure, pom files layout:</p>
  
  <pre><code>--main
    --pom.xml   (is a pom package that is the parent to two other projects)
    --ProjectA
      --pom.xml
    --ProjectB
      --pom.xml
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Main is the parent project of  both ProjectA and ProjectB.  ProjectB has ProjectA as a dependency.  Apprently m2eclipse is not happy about that depedency.  As soon as I remove the dependency of ProjectA from ProjectB's pom file all the maven dependencies are found by eclipse.</p>
  
  <pre><code>- com.company.myproj:app:6.6.0:jar Missing: ---------- 1) com.company.myproj:main:pom:${myproj.version} ---------- 1 required artifact is missing. for artifact: com.company.myproj:main:pom:$
   {myproj.version} from the specified remote repositories: apache-incubating (http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-incubating-repository/, releases=true, snapshots=true), central (http://
   repo1.maven.org/maven2, releases=true, snapshots=false)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, I still need ProjectB to have that dependency for ProjectA.  The error message seems to be m2eclipse looking for ProjectA in a remote repo.  Project A should only be in .m2 directory, but I'm not sure how to tell m2eclipse to look there.  </p>
  
  <p>I think this may be just a m2eclipse specific issue because using mvn from the command line works fine and like I said previously, netbeans loads the projects and dependencies just fine.</p>
