While working with Eclipse and Google Plugin for Eclipse the Maven Integration Plugin I ran into the problem that the dependency on the JDO API library jdo2-api-2.3-ea.jar appears in the App Engine SDK and in the Maven dependencies imported from another project. The Eclipse Classpath Dependency Validator showed the following error message:
Invalid classpath publish/export dependency /local/eclipse/galileo/plugins/com.google.appengine.eclipse.sdkbundle_1.2.2.v200907291526/appengine-java-sdk-1.2.2/lib/user/orm/jdo2-api-2.3-ea.jar. The project contains another dependency with the same archive name.
The solution for this problem was using the notion of explicit dependency exclusion of Maven 2.x in the pom.xml.
Thanks, you’ve made my day with this post.
