Maven has some cool features!
$ mvn -Declipse.downloadSources=true eclipse:eclipse
Downloads the source code for the dependencies if they are avaliable in
the M2 repository. Not all of the projects have source code in the
repository, but quite a few has.
The plugin also attach the source code to the jars in Eclipse.
As our local repository often refuses connections, it is probably better
to run the above goal on one project at a time instead of from top level.

Thanks, got it working. It should be M2_REPO rather than M2_HOME. I set
the classpath variable M2_REPO by: Project->Proterties->(clicking on any
jar starting with M2_REPO)->Edit...->Variable...->New... Is there some
less obscure way?

How do I use the Eclipse plugin? I have used the eclipse-project goal in
ant before that create one Eclipse project for all of Cocoon trunk. But
I guess that each sub project of trunk becomes an own Eclipse project
now.
So starting with a checked out Cocoon trunk what steps are needed to get
e.g. cocoon-core into Eclipse?
Right.
from /trunk, run mvn eclipse:clean first to remove any left over eclipse
files. Then run mvn eclipse:eclipse.
Next go to eclipse, and make sure you haven't got trunk mounted as a
project already. Do File-Import->Existing projects into workspace, then
point to your trunk directory and it should detect the newly created
blocks as projects.
Note that you need to declare the M2_HOME classpath variable in your
workspace, it should point to your local m2 repository. At the moment
there are still compilation problems because of htmlunit, but this
should be enough to get you going already.
