When I deploy to my application server I frequently get these annoying update errors from my MyEclipse IDE.

Here is an example attached below:

I dont know what this Maven stuff is but If I could just disable it so it does not pester me I would be happy.

eclipse.buildId=unknown
java.version=1.6.0_13
java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.
BootLoader constants: OS=win32, ARCH=x86, WS=win32, NL=en_US
Command-line arguments: -os win32 -ws win32 -arch x86

Error

trant,
To disable maven updates at start up go to Window > Preferences > MyEclipse > Maven4MyEclipse > Maven and uncheck the “Download repository index updates on startup”.
To disable Maven features all together, go to Window > Preferences > MyEclipse > Maven4MyEclipse and uncheck “Enable Mave4MyEclipse features”.

Let me know if that helps.

Hello, thanks for your reply!

In fact I had already unchecked that “Enable Maven4MyEclipse features” in my desperate attempts to get rid of these update errors but that had not had any effect. I would assume at this top level this checkbox would in fact disable anything dealing with Maven so perhaps this is a bug if I have to then drill down to the next page to uncheck that other checkbox about downloading repository indexes in order to disable that.

I unchecked that one now and I’ll let you know if it still gives me problems
