What exactly are you trying to do? – Squeak

Im just trying to build sling. I downloaded the sources from svn and now im trying to build it with maven. – Blakely

You don't have to build Sling to use it. Have a look at a very simple sample project at svn.apache.org/repos/asf/sling/trunk/samples/espblog to see how to kick-start development. – Squeak

Answer 1

I had the same issue with a project of my own - it seems to be an m2eclipse-issue, as it goes away when I use an external maven instead of the embedded one m2eclipse uses by default.

I must put more comments here for someone occurred this issue again. Two steps need to resolved the issue. 1. Go to Preferences->Maven-Installation Click the "Add " button to add external Maven you had downloaded ,Then click the "Ok" or "Apply' button to save this change. 2. For you current maven project,you need to right click the project or pom.xml file ,choose "Run As"->"Run Configurations", find current maven run setting,a the bottom there's a "maven Runtime" setting , for the dropdown list to select the previous added maven ,Then click the "Apply" button to make it affect . – Hereunto

Answer 2

its m2e-embedded mvn setting a bogus maven.home-dir

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=341120

only known workaround (as mentioned above) is to use an external mvn
