Excellent tutorial - I actually didn't know that you could use maven to set your maven repo. Anyway, I ran mvn install eclipse:eclipse and got both projects this time - good stuff, thanks.

Actually, I do have something to add to your little tutorial. We all make small mods to our projects (misc paths and in case of MyEclipse JSTL/Hibernate/Spring support, etc.) and when we add new dependencies to our pom we often don't want to recreate a project. Usually building a new project screws things up. Adding the new resources from your M2_REPO is easy in Eclipse but not exactly intuitive:

- First, add the new dependency to your POM
- On the command line run 'mvn compile' or 'mvn install' - make sure you were able to download the jar.
- In Eclipse go to Project->Properties
- Select 'Java Build Path'
- Click 'Add Variable'
- In the new panel select 'M2_REPO'
- Click on 'Extend...'
- Navigate to the version folder and jar file that you want to add
- Double click the jar file
- Cancel all open dialogs.

Done :-)

If you guys know of an easier way to 'properly' add your jar files to a maven/Eclipse project let me know.

AFAICT, you need to run "mvn" from the top level before you run "mvn
eclipse:eclipse". This is because Eclipse tries to find the core
module for the web module and it doesn't exist yet.

FYI... I tried to document this in step #3 of the Eclipse Guide.  Let
me know if I can improve the wording at all.
