Before importing my Maven project, I build it using the following: mvn clean install

I then create the necessary Eclipse files as follows: mvn -Dwtpversion=2.0 eclipse:eclipse

I notice that my Referenced Libraries in Eclipse contains this jar: validation-api-1.0.0.GA.jar

However, when I view the effective POM in Eclipse no such jar appears. Therefore, I am wondering how this jar gets added to my Eclipse classpath?

I require this jar for @Valid annotation I am using and I need Maven to be aware of it. If I build my classpath files using Maven then how come Maven is not aware of it?

Thanks

    Check the Dependency hierarchy-tab in your pom (in Eclipse), maybe the jar is a dependency of some other jar you use.

    In this case, the reference was in the project’s Java Build Path, and was probably added when the project was created because of the -Dwtpversion=2.0 -parameter.
