    I’m currently on 6.0.1 and just downloaded and installed the all-in-one 7.1 to see whether I should renew my subscription.

    It was a disaster. Wasted a whole afternoon trying to get it to do stuff that worked smoothly in 6.0.1.

    First, it lost some of the configuration information from 6.01., such as problem filtering. No biggie… just alot of time screwing around with the configuration.

    Second, it insists on opening a connection to repo2.maven.org to update some repository. What’s going on here? There does not appear to be a way to disable maven short of mucking directly with the configuration files.

    Third, I can’t get an any tasks to output to the console. Yes, I tried fiddling the run external program stuff. This is a deal-breaker.

    I am uninstalling 7.1 and will not renew my subscription. The new features are “nice”, but basic functionality, stuff I depend on every day, is broken. Has myeclipse jumped the shark?

    Maven requires an index to operate, without it it cannot resolve dependencies. It attempts to download this and update it on startup harmlessly in the background. If you really don’t want this to happen you can go to Windows > Prefs > MyEclipse > Maven4MyEclipse > Maven and turn off “Update on startup”

    Third, I can’t get an any tasks to output to the console. Yes, I tried fiddling the run external program stuff. This is a deal-breaker.

    Can you be more explicit about what you mean with Tasks? Ant tasks? Can you switch to a new workspace and check if that works for you.
