Maven – How to install Maven in RAD 8.5.1

In your install manager, check "Contact all updates sites..." and try again. Since EMF comes from a different update site than M2Eclipse, M2Eclipse cannot be installed without the ability to check all update sites for required components.

UPDATE!

Since Eclipse 3.7 (Indigo), m2e is now hosted at eclipse.org. To install it, you just need to use the default Eclipse update site:

• http://download.eclipse.org/releases/kepler
• http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno
• http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo
• etc.

You can add local dependencies directly (as mentioned in build maven project with propriatery libraries included) like this:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sample</groupId>
    <artifactId>sample</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version>
    <scope>system</scope>
    <systemPath>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources/Name_Your_JAR.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>

Update

In new releases this feature is marked as deprecated but still working and not removed yet ( You just see warning in the log during maven start). An issue is raised at maven group about this https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6523 ( You can participate and describe why this feature is helpful in some cases). I hope this feature remains there!

If you are asking me, as long as the feature is not removed, I use this to make dependency to only one naughty jar file in my project which is not fit in repository. If this feature is removed, well, there are lots of good answers here which I can chose from later!
