[m2e-users] m2e dependency resolution over scp

[Erik Fäßler <erik.faessler@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey all,

since the out-of-the-box ssh/scp support has been removed from Maven 3.x, I use the command line to download the dependencies of my projects from our internal scp repository. For this to work, I use the wagon-scp extension:

<extensions>
     <extension>
       <groupId>org.apache.maven.wagon</groupId>
       <artifactId>wagon-ssh</artifactId>
       <version>1.0-beta-6</version>
     </extension>
</extensions>  
Then, I build my projects using "mvn compile" which loads all dependencies into my local repository and everything's fine.

However, I'd really like to be able to resolve everything by the m2eclipse plugin within Eclipse. But even with this extension, m2eclipse is not able to download our internal dependencies via scp. Which further configurations are needed? I would love not being forced to switch to the command line and perform an "mvn compile" every time an internal dependency has changed. I would rather like to just activate dependency management / "update dependencies" to automatically resolve all my dependencies, be it from public repositories via http or from our internal repository via scp.

Best regards,

	Erik
