The Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the Maven Eclipse Plugin, version 2.8.

This plugin is used to generate Eclipse IDE files (*.classpath, *.wtpmodules and the .settings folder) for use with a project. Please see the plugin's site for details:

  http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-eclipse-plugin/

To use the updated plugin in your projects, you need to add the
following snippet to the plugins or plugin management section of your POM:

  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-eclipse-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.8</version>
  </plugin>

To use the updated plugin from command line, add the flag -U the next time you invoke "mvn eclipse:eclipse" in order to have Maven check for the update and download it.
