Hi, gave it at try this morning. I downloaded the current 'Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java Developers' (the smaller 'Eclipse IDE for Java Developers' should do as well). Cloned the repository - without importing any projects in the first place - then imported 'Existing Maven Projects' into the workspace. Eclipse then recognizes a missing m2e extension and displays a dialog to automatically install it - of course it's possible to do that manually beforehand, the extension is called M2E Buildhelper Connector <http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/.m2e/connectors/m2eclipse-buildhelper/0.15.0/N/0.15.0.201207090124/> .
There are a couple of errors after Eclipse finishes compiling the code - the missing 'hudson.cli.client' import is easy to fix: m2e doesn't realize that the source for localized messages is located in 'target/generated-sources/localizer' - You simply have to add that directory to the build path of the CLI project. I'm still faced with an XML and two JSON errors, plus there are two compile errors left (in 'DelegateSecurityManager' and 'DescriptorExtensionList') ... (Java 8 issue?!) Well, although Eclipse has gotten better of the last couple of years with respect to Maven integration it is - in my opinion - still the worst of the 'Big Three'. Apache NetBeans and IntelliJ IDEA are much better choices if You use build systems like Maven or Gradle. Btw, i agree with James Nord - the instructions are totally outdated if not outright wrong for Eclipse Neon upwards and should either be fixed or removed.
