Ooops, forget to say that you should also type this command :
mvn eclipse:eclipse to generates the .project and .classpath for eclipse. Just launch eclipse then, and import the existing projects from the directory where you have built the code.

First thing just take a look at the Partition interface in the partition package. You'll have to implement this for your EIS application. Best thing to do might be to first stub out all the methods and set things up so you can just read a simple entry after installing the partition into the server. Then you can move on to start building up your solution.
That's good news. :-) I'll let you know how I progress... BTW: I had some difficulties with building Apache DS... what's the easiest way to get a dev environment set up with Eclipse? I had to add a lot of libs by hand... And there's a JBOSS depency in the sar-plugin which made me struggle.
