| # Apache Maven IDE Integration |
| |
| All popular development environments for the Java platform and beyond support |
| Apache Maven with numerous features out of the box. The following list iterates |
| popular IDEs in alphabetical order: |
| |
| ## Eclipse IDE - M2Eclipse |
| |
| [M2Eclipse ](http://www.eclipse.org/m2e/) is |
| the official Eclipse project for Maven integration for the Eclipse IDE. |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| M2E dynamically integrates with your Maven projects with Eclipse while you make changes in the IDE. As |
| you change dependencies, or configurations of Maven plugins in your POMs M2E, will synchronize the |
| Eclipse workspace with those changes. |
| |
