- Is this the Eclipse Plugin that allows me to run maven commands from within Eclipse IDE?
-
No. This is a maven plugin to generate Eclipse files for a maven project. This is not an Eclipse Plugin for Maven.
- I already did mvn eclipse:eclipse but when I open Eclipse, my project is not there. Where is it?
-
You may also need to import the project created by Maven Eclipse Plugin. More information can be found here.
- Eclipse is not using the correct project name and is using the directory name instead
-
See the Eclipse bug 225754.
Essentially if the folder:
- is directly below the default workspace then it IGNORES the .project/name element on the import and uses the directory name instead
- is NOT directly below the default workspace then it correctly uses .project/name
This may be why the current Eclipse recommendation is to create a workspace that has NO projects kept underneath it, which will mean correctly named projects.
- After running mvn eclipse:eclipse, the generated dependencies are pointing to a non-existing file. What needs to be done?
-
Before you can setup any maven project to your Eclipse IDE, you need to define first the location of your local repository to Eclipse. This is done by using: eclipse:add-maven-repo
- Can I make the Eclipse plugin download and attach javadocs to my libraries?
-
As of version 2.4, there is a new flag, downloadJavadocs that behaves exactly like downloadSources except for javadocs. See more information here: Attach Library Sources.
