Maven with Eclipse#

Install m2e plugin#

Install Maven

Update site: http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases
Docu: http://www.eclipse.org/m2e/documentation/m2e-extension-development.html

Note: There were some erros below, which I tried to fix with my current instance of eclipse, but finally I downloaded the the latest Photon "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers", which includes the plugin already. None of those errors below showed up there!

Possible errors / dependencies:

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.

=> Install slf4j

Update site: see http://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/downloads/
copy link + /repository, e.g. http://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/downloads/drops/R20180330011457/repository
many slf4j components available !? => ignore, Eclipse will install required one automatically, e.g. adding site is enough

=> a settings file was created automatically at C:\Users\ebelm1\.m2\settings.xml with a wrong proxy setting. I deleted it, because no other settings were in there.

=> delete cache at C:\Users\<user>\.eclipse\org.eclipse.oomph.p2\cache

(!) => delete whole repository at C:\Users\ebelm1\.m2\repository because some resources store the proxy here too
