Working With Maven in Eclipse

[Jeff Eastman]

When I run mvn eclipse:eclipse it generates .classpath and .project 
files in each of the mahout module directories. The last time I did this 
I manually merged the .classpath library declarations from each module 
into the main project's .classpath and that made Eclipse happy. This was 
really tedious and I suspect unnecessary but I am unable to make my 
Eclipse+m2eclipse do anything useful with the checkout wad.

Are any of you using this IDE in a more automatic way?
