> When I have a project like TicketMonster or any of the WFK examples in my workspace, I configure m2e to use a separate settings.xml file (say ~/.m2/contributor-settings.xml or ~/.m2/redhat-repos.xml) which point to the RedHat enterprise repositories or other repos. My usual settings.xml file lacks this.
> Forge uses the ~/.m2/settings.xml file by default, even though the Eclipse workspace uses a different one. From the point of view of end-users this results in weird behavior in Forge. For example, Forge facets are not activated correctly because the Maven artifacts in the Red Hat enterprise repo could not be found.
> It requires the user to modify the content of ~/.m2/settings.xml instead of just pointing to a different one, which is a bit unreasonable of Forge, given the current capabilites of m2e.
