I would like to start using Maven on Eclipse Ganymede 3.4 but i'm encountering problems. When i try to add a site in the software updates pop up under "available software> add" I get:

 No repository found at http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/update/

Error reading update site http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/update/. Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL: http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/update /site.xml

Also, the tutorial shown on the http://eclipse.org/m2e/ page is outdated, the links shown in the video are no longer existing, i think they have been replaced, and it suggest a Jetty implementation, while i would like to keep on using Tomcat.

I have been trying different links found googleing, all extension of the http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/update/ but with no luck, did anyone of you had the same issue? have some suggestion?

I have tried on Eclipse Helios too but same problem persists,

Thank you

That's probably because m2eclipse has been moved from the Sonatype repository to its new home under the Eclipse project as suggested on its Sonatype site.

Try this update site instead as suggested on the plugin's new site: http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases.

thx indeed it loads now, but: requires 'bundle org.hamcrest 0.0.0' but it could not be found, i think you had the same problem while updating the interim branch in Epsilon right?
and even so you are fighting a loosing battle as 3.4 is very old. You are best upgrading to Indigo 3.7 ASAP and org.eclipse.m2e it is by far the best M2E release ever I doubt it is compatible with E3.4.
