  <p>I have read where many people were able to solve this by:</p>
  <ul>
  <li><p>Deleting the folder from the local repository and letting it re-download it (this did <strong>not</strong> work)</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>By configuring eclipse to target your maven installation instead of the embedded one as described here (this did <strong>not</strong> work)</p>

  </ul>
  <p><strong>I am new to Maven</strong> so please excuse any of my ignorance.</p>
  <p>This project is working on another machine, and just pulled it down from the repository on this one, with the same version of eclipse and m2e plugin installed. I have been fooling with this for over 10 hours now and it is driving me nuts (Maven has been nothing but headaches for me so far...)</p>
  <h3>EDITS</h3>
  <p>After looking closer I did notice that it is not downloading the .jar files into the local repository... I am not sure if that is something obvious...</p>
  <p>I am not given the option to add Maven Dependencies to the build path.</p>
