I am using Spring Tool Suite 3.6.3 and M2E eclipse plugin 1.4.1, when I opened the POM file from one of the project, I observed not all the dependencies are getting added, I have added depnedecy configuration for jaxws-rt with version 2.2.8 which has many dependencies as follows

In STS when I open the POM, and navigates to the Dependency Hierarchy, I am not able to see policy, resolver and streambuffer dependencies.
But when I run mvn clean install from command prompt, all above mentioned jars gets added to .war file.
I think there is some issue with the m2e + STS, not sure why m2e is not able to get those missing dependencies.
