Updating greyed-out Maven dependencies in-between changes

IDE 1 Minute

Saved my day. As I am following along with a tutorial, I’m adding to and changing an existing project. Things are bound to break during the changes, but my Maven test dependencies suddenly started to be greyed out, resulting in import errors in the auto-generated test class.

To fix this I just used Task 2,

  • Right click on Project
  • Click on Maven
  • Click on Update Project...

Fixed 😀

I have been a software developer since 2004 and have worked in many different languages. I started off using scripting languages on the web and transitioned into Enterprise Java development. I have worked as a Team Leader and independent contractor in this capacity. I then decided to take a break, before changing direction to create apps for mobile devices. I changed languages and focused more on the business and design side of things for a while. However, I'm getting pretty jaded by the new and shiny, so I am going back to what I know best and retraining in all the new Java ways and really enjoying the process. My Java 8 certification was the start, this blog will tell the rest of the story.
