How to update maven repository in Eclipse?

Assuming you're already using the m2eclipse plugin, what can you do when it doesn't update the dependencies to the latest in your repo?

For example, on the command line, you can just add the -U flag as in

mvn clean install -U 

…to force the dependencies to be updated. Is there something like this within Eclipse? (It doesn't always seem to pick up the latest updates.)

Right-click on your project and choose Maven > Update Snapshots. In addition to that you can set "update Maven projects on startup" in Window > Preferences > Maven

UPDATE: In latest versions of Eclipse: Maven > Update Project. Make sure "Force Update of Snapshots/Releases" is checked.
