If you want to use the Web Tools Project, you might find this useful: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-eclipse-plugin/wtp.html
Basically, add a flag to tell the Maven 2 plugin to generate wtp files like so: mvn -Dwtpversion=1.0 eclipse:eclipse Don On 12/15/06, Dariusz Wojtas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I also use eclipse with S2 with no problem, and 'mvn eclipse:eclipse' works as it should. I repeated it also today on fresh source tree. 1) define Maven repository (for referencing JAR files) Window --> Preferences --> Java --> Build Path --> ClassPath Variables Define variable M2_REPO with value pointing to your repository, in my case: c:/Documents and Settings/Darek/.m2/repository 2) After this command, just open eclipse, menu File --> Import --> Existin Projects into Workspace Root Directory: path to your Struts2 root. Button "Browse" and you get list of Struts projects (api, core, plugins) Works great. I only had 1 problem, when using maven to build JAR files of struts. By default eclipse is pointed to compile code into the same directories as maven, and maven was somehw confused with that - caching issues. You may change the eclipse build path by: clicking on the project preferences, Java Build Path, Default Output Folder. Just specify some other directory. Now it seems to work. Side note From time to time my struts 2 compilation in maven only works if I fetch xwork sources into the same parent dir as struts2.
