<h2>Setting up in your IDE </h2>
<ul>
  <li><strong>Intellij IDEA </strong>- type <strong>maven idea:multiproject</strong>  This will 
  generate IDEA .ipr, .iml and .iws project files </li>
  <li><strong>Eclipse and others</strong>- Maven doesn't contain multiproject support for eclipse. You have to manually setup the project. If you have run &quot;maven&quot; earlier, all the required jars must have been downloaded to {USER_HOME}\.maven\repository folder. </li>
