You can update the dependency of Maven under IDE.
You can use Eclipse to build Maven projects.
Eclipse is based on Maven’s pom.xml to automate dependency management.
It solves the dependency between the workspace of Maven and Eclipse without the need to install to the local Maven repository (depending on the project in the same workspace).
It can automatically download the required dependencies and source code from the remote Maven library.
It provides wizards to create new Maven projects, pom.xml, and enable Maven support on existing projects.
It provides a quick search for dependencies of remote Maven repositories.
