Resolving Maven dependencies in eclipse

In order to resolve Maven dependencies in eclipse variable M2_REPO should be added to the classpath variables of the eclipse.

We can check the list classpath variables in eclipse at

Window ->Preferences->Java->Build Path ->Classpath Variables

In this view new classpath variable M2_REPO can be added directly. It should point to the location of Maven repository and not the home location of Maven

Other way is to do through console.

Run command:

mvn -Declipse.workspace="Your Workspace" eclipse:configure-workspace

It will add the variable in eclipse workspace.

mvn -Declipse.workspace="C:\Users\aggara4\SpringWorkSpace" eclipse:configure-workspace
