m2eclipse makes dependency management easy as pie

October 6th, 2008

I’ve been doing some POM editing to build distributions for the Mule RESTpack today. Normally this type of thing would’ve been a painful iteration back and forth between the command line and inspecting the assembly I built. But m2eclipse provides a great way to actually visualize your dependencies.

Screenshots say it all, so here’s a view of all my dependencies:

And here’s a view of me tracking down a specific dependency I want to remove:

    Oh, that looks nice. Where can I get me one of those? It looks like a custom view or editor, and I don’t seem to have that available. I’m using Eclipse 3.3.2.with m2eclipse 0.9.2.

    Try updating – the latest release is 0.9.6 or 0.9.7.

    Hi Dan,

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t `mvn dependency:tree` have done the trick if you were working on the CLI before?
