Maven POM-Editor: No dependency graph

Question

In Eclipse Helios, I have a nice dependency graph function inside the maven pom editor.

But in later installations (Helios-sr2 and Indigo) this function is missing. Does anyone know how to activate this? (I am using OSX, 64 bit cocoa)

Answer 1

This has been removed from m2e 1.0 (previously it was available if you selected "show advanced editors", but this option also disappeared). The developers behind this stated that the dependency graph has never worked so well with more than a few dependencies, and representing a dependency hierarchy still works better.

Here is one message from m2e users about this:

Answer 2

The dependency chart is still available! At least in Indigo and Helios-SR2 you can activate the chart in the Eclipse settings: Maven - POM Editor - Show advanced tabs in the POM editor .
