Adding a Maven dependency to Netbeans 6.9.1

Question

I seem to be having a problem with Netbeans 6.9.1. (The same problem occurs in Netbeans 7.0, but I can't use it because of other problems.)

• I am writing a project using Maven and add a dependency to the pom.xml file (e.g.: junit).

• I right click the "Libraries" item in the project tree and select "Download missing dependencies".

• I try to add the annotation @Test in the editor window and it gets flagged as unknown.

• I add an import org.junit.Test

• Netbeans then complains that "junit is not a member of org".

I am using the Scala plugin.

I have the same problem not only for Maven projects, but also for Ant-based ones. In the most cases, "Reset Scala Plugin" + reopening the file works for me. When it doesn't help (sigh), I'm restarting the IDE.

Also, you can clone https://github.com/dcaoyuan/nbscala.git, and build from sources (if that's a bug in the plugin, there's a good chance that it's already fixed in the master).
