I'm setting up a STS (2.6.1) development environment and our corporate WIKI says:

Install the Maven SCM handler for subclipse (m2eclipse extras) from the following STS/Eclipse update site: http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e-extras

However, this site no longer exists and Help | Install New Software doesn't know what to do with it.

I've searched the web for other instructions and/or alternative site.

I've found "The Central Repository" at search.maven.org, which has maven-scm-plug files to download.

But, STS doesn't know what to do that with that site (through Help | Iinstall New Software), and if I download the JAR manually, I don't know what to do with it to install it manually.

How do I proceed?

The m2eclipse plugin has moved to eclipse foundation, you can find it here, but here you can find old releases if you need.

The new version of m2eclipse has a new feature called 'connectors', in order to get them, inside eclipse:

  1. Preferences > Maven > Discovery
  2. Open Catalog
  3. Browse the catalog and choose the connectors you need.

  • Thanks, but there's no "extras" repository there, and a search for "Maven SCM" produces nothing. Any other ideas? – russellr Jul 03 '13 at 23:46
  • Thanks, but STS 2.6.1 doesn't have 'Preferences -> Maven -> Discovery'. I'm now trying to use STS 2.9.1 in the hope that the newer version isn't broken. But hit this error: Missing requirement: Maven SCM handler for Subclipse 0.13.0.201303011221 (org.sonatype.m2e.subclipse.feature.feature.group 0.13.0.201303011221) requires 'org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.feature.group 0.0.0' but it could not be found – russellr Jul 05 '13 at 00:39
