Re: [m2e-users] Missing artifacts / non-existing libraries - please assi

Hi Rafal,

Thanks for the reply, I was starting to wonder...

I finally found the answer, and your mail really helped:

antony@antonygvbdebian:~/workspace/tutorial$ mvn dependency:resolve
[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Indeed, my <repositories> tag was after </project>, so my pom.xml was
badly formed.  No excuses on my part, but it would have been nice to
have the actual error pointed out by m2e.  I don't know why I didn't
see this from the Eclipse IDE, I have tried enabling as much debug as
possible, and the best I get is:

Of course, this doesn't make sense, as the http://repo1.maven.org
links don't hold any reference to geotools.

So thanks a lot for your help and if you have any advice on how I
could have enabled some extra m2e debug to catch this, I'd be all
ears.
