[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-3255) Unhelpful error message if users IDE doesn't define the "M2_REPO" variable

Unhelpful error message if users IDE doesn't define the "M2_REPO" variable -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-3255 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-3255 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Bug Components: smooks Reporter: Tom Fennelly Assignee: Xue Peng Priority: Minor Fix For: 3.0.0.cr1 I created an eclipse project using maven, which links in the dependencies via the maven repo. It references the maven repo via the "M2_REPO" variable. When this variable wasn't set, I was unable to set the source and target java classes for the source and target models - just came back with an error ... "unable to load class ''" (i.e. empty quoted string). The classes I was trying to set were in the actual project source (i.e. not in any of the linked in dependecies), so I'm not sure what the issue was. Might be a good thing to add this in a FAQ or Known Issues doc, or even as a "possible cause" message addition to the "unable to load class..." error message.
