Good day, Personally, I still use maven in the command line, and Eclipse as an editor.
What I do is that 1. I go to the directory of my maven project 2. Do mvn "eclipse:clean eclipse:eclipse" ( "eclipse:clean" is to make sure I start with a clean slate ) 3. Then create the eclipse project from an existing source ( where the source is the the directory in #1 ). As for the commands, you can do "mvn --help" to see the options available. Other than that, you can enter either a goal or a lifecycle phase ( see [1] about their difference ). But for beginners, executing maven commands based on lifecycle phases are usually enough.
