I just started to use m2e to try to build the sample travellog elastic beanstalk project. On the console I’m getting “[ERROR] Project read error”.

This also appears in red on the “Dependency Hierarchy” tab.

What does this mean and how do I find out more details?

Edit: Adding pom.xml

    Ok. So I think I figured it out.

    In workspace\.metadata there are log files, e.g. .log mine has this entry:

    !ENTRY org.eclipse.m2e.logback.appender 4 0 2012-05-28 18:50:44.641
!MESSAGE Project read error

    You can look in:

    Workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.m2e.logback.configuration

    to find the log files for m2e, e.g., 0.log

    These are pretty detailed and useful. Anyway, my log file has this entry:

    2012-05-28 18:50:44,640 [Worker-52] ERROR o.e.m.editor.pom.DependencyTreePage - Project read error

    So, it appears that there is a problem with the definition for the aws-java-sdk dependencies. It specifies that the jackson-mapper-asl can be of version [1.8.) which appears to be invalid syntax.

    If I modify the pom.xml to exclude that dependency it becomes:

    <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
  <groupId>BeanstalkTest</groupId>
  <artifactId>BeanstalkTest</artifactId>
  <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
  <packaging>war</packaging>

    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.amazonaws</groupId>
            <artifactId>aws-java-sdk</artifactId>
            <version>[1.0.007,)</version>
             <exclusions>
                <exclusion>
                    <groupId>org.codehaus.jackson</groupId>
                    <artifactId>jackson-mapper-asl</artifactId>
                </exclusion>
            </exclusions>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

</project>

    and this does not produce the “Project Read Error”. So, basically two things:

    1. The log files are found as above, and
    2. There seems to be a problem in the definition of the aws-java-sdk dependencies

    Thanks Luca.
