I have an old Maven project which worked for two years. All of a sudden, I get this error: The container 'Maven Dependencies' references non existing library '$HOME/.m2/repository/ch/qos/logback/logback-classic/0.9.28/logback-classic-0.9.28.jar' There are two problems here: 1. The file exists, it's readable, the JAR archive is not corrupt and it contains the correct classes. 2. The project depends on version 0.9.29 which m2e shows when I switch to the "Dependency Hierarchy" view. Before m2e 1.0, I could fix problems like this one by touching the pom.xml (add a space, delete it, save) or by executing "Update Project Configuration..." but both have no effect. Update the config prints "2011-06-30 10:00:01,337 [Worker-0] INFO o.e.m.c.u.i.UpdateConfigurationJob - Update completed: 0 sec" but doesn't do anything. I tried to close and reopen the project without any luck. Restarting Eclipse has no effect. As a last resort, I deleted the project and imported it again. This finally made m2e update the classpath.
Maybe related: When I close a project and open it again, projects from the workspace are not resolved correctly anymore. Say I have three projects A, B and C. A depends on B depends on C. All are open. I can see B and C in the "Maven Dependencies" of A. I close B and C. I open B. Sometimes, B can't be compiled because "Project 'B' is missing required Java project 'C'" There is no way to get rid of the error but opening C. If A compiles (it pulls B and C from the local m2 repo) and I open B, it doesn't appear on the classpath of A. It seems that opening and closing projects fails to trigger a refresh of the m2e caches. Even restarting Eclipse doesn't help. I'm using m2e 1.0.0-20110607-2117. This bug was introduced in one of the last releases. I'm pretty sure I never saw this before June.
Problem with re-opened workspace project is bug 350956, which is supposed to be fixed already. Can you try m2e from [1] to see if it solves the original problem? [1] https://repository.sonatype.org/content/repositories/forge-sites/m2e/1.0.100/N/LATEST/

I'll add my comments to bug 350956.
based on your comments, I assume this is a duplication of Bug 350956. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 350956 ***
