Maven dependencies error

[Steppenwulf]

I created a new Spring Template project - Spring Faces Project. Unfortunately it was created it with errors. In particular:

The container 'Maven Dependencies' references non existing library 'C:\Users\<userName>\.m2\repository\javax\faces\co m.springsource.javax.faces\1.2.0.09\com.springsour ce.javax.faces-1.2.0.09.jar'

I must admit I know nothing at all about Maven. I tried downloading both the com.springsources.javax.faces jar and the jsf jars, and put them on the build path, but it didn't help.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

<Edit> Ok, I found the jar, and put it in the appropriate place. Now an equivalent error has come up - it is looking for a JBoss jar. I assume I don't have to go around and find each and every dependent jar?

Hi,

please make sure that you are connected to the internet without a proxy and run the "Maven -> Update Dependencies" command from the project context menu. This should download and all required JARs to your classpath.

Thanks - I'm not sure why that doesn't seem to be working, although I have most of the required jars in the repository.

I am also running into a problem that the settings.xml file is missing. I took a look at the Maven site, but I couldn't find a way to generate one. I copied my pom.xml to the location, but it is getting some warnings.

Any suggestions?

I've got a similar Problem, but it seems hard to reproduce:

Currently every morning I start STS and run tomcat (2.0.26), tomcat became an ClassNotFoundException, he cant find DispatcherServlet.

After (feeled) thousands of times of Removing/Adding the project to tomcat, cleaning tomcat and praying to the gods of cobol I figured out, that I have to do an "Maven" -> "Update Dependencies". Every time! Why?
