Quirks with Maven2 and m2eclipse

If you're using m2eclipse (which I've found to be quite useful), you should be aware that it doesn't always check the settings.xml file in the local repository or in the maven home dir, and so that pesky command-that-you're-trying-to-get-working-that-should-be-working-after-you've -updated-settings.xml-but-still-isn't-working may have to be run from the command line using 'mvn' rather than from within eclipse.
