[m2e-users] m2e doesn't see local libraries

[Denis Laroche <dlaroche7@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everybody,

I have a jar file in the local repository that was built from a Maven project. I'm trying to use that library in another Maven project. I can add it as dependency, but Eclipse cannot find any of the classes in the library. When I look at the dependencies in the POM editor, the library appears as a folder instead of a JAR file.

The workaround is to manually add the library as an external jar in the "Configure build path" dialog of Eclipse.

Would someone have an idea of what's happening?
