Of course, the list of dependencies will have to be resolved first. But

Question 2: Is all I need to do add all required jars and plugins in my
/lib folder?

 maven eclipse:generate-project
 maven eclipse:generate-classpath

Maven will resolve dependencies for you, and the built in "eclipse" plugin for maven will keep eclipse in sync with your project.xml file. In other words, do this: Run the second step each time your dependencies change in project.xml, and then "refresh" that project in eclipse. There is an extra one off step in eclipse: Add a java->buildpath->classpath variable called MAVEN_REPO pointing at your ~/.maven/repository directory, details in the eclipse plugin docs for maven.
