| Eclipse plugins for Maven |
| |
| The following plugins allow using Maven from the Eclipse IDE, avoiding the use of the Maven command line interface. They integrate Maven |
| in the IDE in different ways, please check their sites for more information. |
| Both plugins allow running Maven goals from Eclipse, see the output in a view inside the IDE and synchronize Maven POM information with |
| Eclipse project information to some extent. |
| |
| The Maven Integration for Eclipse (m2eclipse, Eclipse m2e) |
| |
| {{{http://m2eclipse.codehaus.org/}The Maven Integration for Eclipse}} is the first and most mature of the projects aimed at integrating |
| Maven within the Eclipse IDE. It is released under the EPL 1.0 license. |
| |
| Features include: |
| |
| * Launching Maven builds from within Eclipse |
| |
| * Dependency management for Eclipse build path based on Maven's pom.xml |
| |
| * Resolving Maven dependencies from the Eclipse workspace without installing to local Maven repository |
| |
| * Automatic downloading of the required dependencies and sources from the remote Maven repositories |
| |
| * Wizards for creating new Maven projects, pom.xml and to enable Maven support on existing projects |
| |
| * Quick search for dependencies in remote Maven repositories |
| |
| * Quick fixes in the Java editor for looking up required dependencies/jars by the class or package name |
| |
| * Integration with other Eclipse tools, such as WTP, AJDT, Mylyn, Subclipse and others. |
| |

| {{{http://docs.codehaus.org/display/M2ECLIPSE}m2eclipse wiki}}. |

| |
| Eclipse Integration for Apache Maven (Eclipse IAM), formerly Q for Eclipse |
| |
| {{{http://www.eclipse.org/iam/}Eclipse IAM}} is a newer Apache Maven plugin for Eclipse with a fresh approach for Maven integration with the |
| Eclipse IDE and other Eclipse plugins (JDT, WTP, Candy for Appfuse,...), |
| also opening the doors for other Eclipse plugin developers to access Maven features as easy as possible. |
| |
| With five releases already, and continuing to make one every other month it's quickly maturing. |
