Prerequisites[edit]

  • Eclipse 3.3.1.1
  • Subclipse plugin for eclipse 1.2.4 (get it here)

Install the maven plugin[edit]

Do the following steps to install the maven plugin:

  • Go to Help->Software Updates->Find and install...
  • Choose Search for new features to install
  • Add a new remote site with the following info:
Name: Maven
URL: http://m2eclipse.codehaus.org/update
  • Install version 0.0.11 of the plugin; 0.0.12 won't work since it's complaining about a misconfigured plugin

Importing the projects[edit]

To import all the submodules of a project, do the following:

  • Go to Files->Import...
  • Choose General->Maven projects
  • Now choose the root of your projects folder (it's the one with a pom.xml and the submodule folders)
  • Check every project and import all the modules


You will get a parent eclipse project with all submodules and eclipse projects of all the submodules.

Attention, at the moment, the subversion plugin only works from the parent eclipse project.
