Well, to answer my own question...
I was mostly successful by simply creating a new (empty) eclipse workspace and
make sure that the Preferences->Java->Installed JREs actually points at your
JDK, and not the JRE. (otherwise nothing will compile)
Then create a new project with the wizard.
File->New->Other...->Maven->Checkout Maven Projects from SCM
Click "Next..." and the Target Location selector appears. Choose "git" in the
SCM type selector, then enter the URL for the git repository.
(https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/flume.git)
Click "Finish" and eclipse (+ m2eclipse) handles checking out the Flume trunk
and creating all of the projects.
A couple problems remain in the POM files, though.
In flume-ng-sdk/pom.xml and the flume-avro-source/pom.xml, Eclipse is showing
errors in the definition of the avro-maven-plugin and the
paranamer-maven-plugin. In each it says,
Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration:
org.apache.avro:avro-maven-plugin:1.6.1:idl-protocol (execution: default,
phase: generate-sources)
I can guess what the error means, but I have no idea how to fix it.

Subject: Question about the Setting up Eclipse wiki page
On the wiki,
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLUME/Development+Environment#DevelopmentEnvironment-SettingupEclipse,
the basic instructions say that I can use either the maven-eclipse plugin or
the m2eclipse plugin. But, it only shows how to use the maven-eclipse plugin.
Are the instructions the same for m2eclipse? The implication that I get from
the page is no.
Thanks!
