The Maven 2 POM can do this and Eclipse can be updated (to some degree) to reflect Maven POM changes (mvn eclipse:eclipse in the project directory). I have a similar situation where I kick the whole thing off with shell script but this is not strictly necessary since you can do this through the eclipse-subversion plug-in. The main advantage is that for those that do not want all source local they can just grab the JAR files (or source jar for that matter). I noticed in your next response you use maven 1 take a look at some of the changes in Maven 2 and think about making this the central project descriptor/builder. In case you have not figured this out yet you can also run Maven commands from the eclipse external tools

At the moment it strikes me that I can't have a standard eclipse setup or maven one for that matter that will automatically determine whats available and work with it. So everyone ends up having to change the eclipse classpaths when they check things out and then remember not to commit those changes sometime later. Also there is the little matter of adding to add to both the eclipse class path and the maven pom when a new dependency is introduced. Ideally I'd like to add it to the POM and eclipse would pic it up automatically and build using it (local if available as already mentioned). Personally I have everything checked out local because I like to be able to debug the full system and also search on the full source. Phill Moran wrote: > > Is this not standard Maven?
