This is a partial update to this issue, which I am posting as requested by Barrie Treloar.
I encountered this problem on a Windows install of Eclipse. For the project I am working on I also needed a Linux Eclipse environment. So I asked our Linux Sys Admin to install a fresh download of Eclipse Mars 2 in a Linux VM I have dedicated to my project. I created new projects in this environment as Maven projects. A Maven Dependencies entry was added to my project's Libraries tab for the Java Build Path. I then ported my source code from my Windows Eclipse environment to this new Eclipse Linux environment and the related POM files. I removed the Maven Dependencies entry from the Java Build Path that was created when the project was created. I then deleted all the entries in my local .m2/repositories directory because when I executed Maven -> Update Project.... from Eclipse I wanted to make sure that both my local repository and my Java Build Path were refreshed. I then executed Maven -> Update Project.... from Eclipse and unlike in my Windows environment where only the local repo was refreshed not the Maven Dependencies in my Java Build Path, both the Maven Dependencies in my Java Build Path and my local repo were refreshed. While the problem I was experiencing in my Windows environment where my Eclipse was upgraded from Luna to Mars 2 without doing a fresh install appears to be resolved by a fresh install on the Linux platform, I am not problem free. While the Maven Dependencies entry was added to the Libraries tab for the Java Build Path and all the jar files specified in my POM were referenced in the Maven Dependencies, these references are flagged as missing from my local repo. I am investigating this now. I have not had the opportunity to try a fresh install in my Windows environment. As soon as I have some time to do this I will update the mailing list again with those results as well. I hope this explanation has been helpful.
