I am running Eclipse Helios 3.6.1 and just installed Nexus on my home server.
I changed the maven settings.xml configuration file as described on the website:

<settings 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/settings-1.0.0.xsd">
	<mirrors>
		<mirror>
			<!--This sends everything else to /public -->
			<id>nexus</id>
			<name>Nexus on Servix</name>
			<mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf>
			<url>http://192.168.0.101:8081/nexus/content/groups/public</url>
		</mirror>
	</mirrors>

</settings>

When I want to add a new dependency to a maven project pom, I only see the artifacts that are in my nexus private repository, but not the ones from maven central.
Browsing the maven repository in eclipse, shows an empty central repository. It just shows:

central (http://central) [mirrored by nexus]

I tried Update Index but then I get an error telling:

12/12/10 10:11:18 CET: Unable to update index for central|http://central
12/12/10 10:11:18 CET: Updating index nexus|http://192.168.0.101:8081/nexus/content/groups/public
12/12/10 10:11:15 CET: Updating index central|http://central
12/12/10 10:11:18 CET: Updated index for nexus|http://192.168.0.101:8081/nexus/content/groups/public

How do I tell eclipse that it should go to my home server to retrieve the index? Apparently it knows that the repository is mirrored by nexus, but it seems to ignore this fact for retrieving the index.

I had a similar problem with running a local instance of Nexus. The way I fixed it was by launching the Nexus webapp and I choose repair index and rebuild index on the Public Repository Group.

I believe the issue had to deal with a non-existent index or a bad index. Once the index exists on the Nexus server then the m2eclipse plugin will be able to rebuild/update index in Maven Repository Eclipse view.
