ok, sorry, I didn't see that you were new to M2. You have actually several choices to work with maven 2 and eclipse.
The first one is to use a plugin in eclipse to launch maven 2 to build your application. There are 2 plugins actually for eclipse : - http://code.google.com/p/q4e/ which we hope will be integrated in eclipse in some monthes. When i tested it this plugin worked only with maven 2.1.x. It should be transparent in most cases if you are using 2.0.x, but it's not sure - http://m2eclipse.codehaus.org/ Those plugins will give you some additional features in eclipse: For example they'll help you to write your pom, add dependencies... The problem with those plugins, is that they aren't supporting WTP if you are developing a web application :-( The other choice, is to use the plugin in maven to setup your project for eclipse http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-eclipse-plugin/ This plugin is used from maven in command line. It setup your eclipse settings (build path, WTP support, ...). You will have to regenerate your eclipse settings each time that you change your pom (adding/removing a dependency for example). After that you can import your project in eclipse and you'll use the standard build of eclipse (Ctrl + B) to build your application. You'll also be able to deploy your webapp on an application server using WTP Hope, this helps Arnaud On Nov 20, 2007 2:51 PM, Michael Bernagou <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hum, I don't know how to do that. > Ok I can create a bat file to launch the command but is it to do only > once? > > 2007/11/20, Arnaud HERITIER <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > > Did you activate the WTP support in the eclipse plugin for maven 2 ? > > mvn eclipse:eclipse -Dwtpversion=1.5 > > > > It's working fine generally.... > > > > TEll us if you have any problem, we'll try to solve them > > > > Arnaud > > > > On Nov 20, 2007 9:49 AM, Michael Bernagou <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > > > Hi, > > > > > > I'm new to M2 and I use Eclipse 3.2 WTP, Maven 2.0.7 and the latest > > maven > > > plugin for eclipse.
