Question

I am trying to get started with Maven and m2eclipse but I keep getting missing artifact errors:

log4j is in my local repository. I have m2eclipse set up to use an external installation of Maven although I realize that for dependency resolution it uses the embedded maven. I don’t have any custom settings for maven set up, this is a plain install of m2eclipse and maven. I am able to add the dependencies I want through m2eclipse (such as log4j) and it adds them to my pom file. I am at home and not behind a corporate or particularly restrictive firewall.

Can anybody help me figure out what is going on?
