[m2e-users] Maven Dependencies Not Updated

[Eric Kolotyluk <eric.kolotyluk@xxxxxxxxx>]

I added a couple of dependencies to my POM, but the jar files never get 
added to the Maven Dependencies in my Eclipse project. I have tried 
doing Maven->Update Project several times, but nothing happens.

I am using Juno. Is m2e supposed to work correctly with that?

Turns out you have to add the dependencies via the UI, you cannot add 
them to the XML directly.

I remember a time when I use to be able to edit the XML directly and m2e 
would figure things out. This seems like a regression bug to me.

Cheers, Eric
