I needed to install a newer verions of Maven Integration fro Eclipse (to support RTC).

I added the update site (http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases/1.0/1.0.0.20110607-2117), selected Add to Profile for the Maven Integration for Eclipse item, and selected apply pending changes.

It complained that I needed to uninstall the previous version.

I selected the previous verions from My Software and said remove. It added these to the pending changes BUT INCLUDED WITH THE INSTALL OF THE NEW VERSION. I thought it might be smart enough to do the removes first so I said Apply. I just camplained agin so I removed the new version from My Software

restart.

It now removed the old version (seemed to).

restart.

I again added the new version and said apply.
It still compained about what seems to be the old version (see incomprehensible messages below).
When I display the plug-ins it still seems to be showing this old version from Sonatype (see PNG).

1) Why is the old version still installed and not showing up in My Software?
2) How do I clean up this mess?
3) Why is it complaining about dependencies for the Maven for MyEclipse version.

I’ve had this problem before, let me see if I can remember how I fixed it. I’ll be back in a minute.

Frank,

I’m not sure if you can wait but release 10.0 is due out in a couple of days and will incorporate m2eclipse 1.0.0 as part of the Maven support.

Did you have the previous version of m2eclipse plug-in installed? Note that the Maven Support for MyEclipse feature also included a previous version of m2eclipse. So you may need to also remove the Maven Support for MyEclipse feature, if you haven’t already done so.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the quick response.

I tried to remove every org.maven.ide file from the installation directory, did a -clean restart and it STILL complained about the prior install.

I tried your suggestion of removing Maven for MyEclipse and that did the trick.

Thanks.

I’m glad that’s working for you, Frank.

Thanks for letting us know.
