Let me answer my own question. After searching the m2 forum, I found: http://www.nabble.com/How-to-convert-or-use-a-Maven-project-as-a-dynamic-web-project--to23430177.html#a23432587
For anyone looking to do this, it's very simple, you just need to make sure you have installed "m2e WTP Integration optional feature installed". You just import/general/maven project.... Again, thanks, and sorry for extra posting. massive.boisson wrote: > > Thank you guys, > > I do need to debug. > > It was not obvious at all to me how to import existing java web maven > project into eclipse wtp project using m2 eclipse plugin.
