The parent POM is in a repository and the correct jars are imported into the effective POM,see below, but seem to be unavailable for Project->Build.

I have 10 projects and they all need the same maven dependencies.

My steps are
run->m4e->clean
Project->clean
Project->build
run->m4e->package

When I run->M4E->package it creates a package,console out below, but without the dependent jars. So it seems the syntax is OK with maven.

If I add the dependencies to the child POM everything works

Is this a limitation of MyEclipse?
Thanks

The parent project does not need to be open for the client/child project to compile. The Settings project contains a bunch of static stuff.

Parent pom must be named "pom.xml" as far as I can tell.

Nice thing is no DependencyManagement stuff.
