Why is Eclipse/Maven project not picking up the values from settings.xml?

[Rajkumar Masanaiyan]

I have saved the configuration at the bottom in c:\users\<username>\.m2\settings.xml but pom.xml created as part of Maven Project in Eclipse is not picking up the values. The effective POM still has

<repositories> <repository> <snapshots> <enabled>false</enabled> </snapshots> <id>central</id> <name>Maven Repository Switchboard</name> <url>http://repo1.maven.org/maven2</url> </repository> </repositories>

And what should be the http://ebr.springsource.com/respository equivalent of

<pluginRepositories> <pluginRepository> <releases> <updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy> </releases> <snapshots> <enabled>false</enabled> </snapshots> <id>central</id> <name>Maven Plugin Repository</name> <url>http://repo1.maven.org/maven2</url> </pluginRepository> </pluginRepositories>

settings.xml
--------------
<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd"> <repositories> <repository> <id>com.springsource.repository.bundles.release</id> <name>SpringSource Enterprise Bundle Repository - SpringSource Bundle Releases</name> <url>http://repository.springsource.com/maven/bundles/release</url> </repository> <repository> <id>com.springsource.repository.bundles.external</id> <name>SpringSource Enterprise Bundle Repository - External Bundle Releases</name> <url>http://repository.springsource.com/maven/bundles/external</url> </repository> </repositories> </settings>

1) If you run mvn from the command line, is settings.xml being included correctly?

2) In Eclipse, what is shown in Windows | Preferences | Maven | User Settings? (Also, try clicking Update Settings in the same dialog.)

You need to point Eclipse at your settings file as Peter has indicated in point 2 above.

Thank you James & Peter. The settings are being picked up but I think the tags are wrong.

What "tags"?
