I need some very basic newbie help. I have never used maven before this, but I would like very much to learn how.
I would like to import an existing open source maven project named ofx4j into Eclipse on my machine. I have installed Eclipse Juno and Maven 3.0.5 on my Win7 system. Maven basic test "mvn -version" responds with correct version numbers: Apache Maven 3.0.5 (r01de14724cdef164cd33c7c8c2fe155faf9602da; 2013-02 Maven home: C:\Program Files\apache-maven-3.0.5 Java version: 1.6.0_25, vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc. Java home: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\jre Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: Cp1252 OS name: "windows 7", version: "6.1", arch: "amd64", family: "windows" I have done no tasks with maven other than this. I have the m2e and svn plugins installed in Eclipse, but when I try to use the Maven import, I am confused by the choices and procedures to actually get the ofx4j project sources into my Eclipse workspace. When I try to do Maven import, there are 4 choices: Check out Maven Projects from SCM Existing Maven Projects Install or deploy an artifact to a Maven repository Materialize Maven Projects from SCM I naively assumed I should use the "Check out" option to go retrieve the project sources. When the import dialog then asks to pick an SCM, I selected "svn" and pasted in the project repository address: https://ofx4j.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ofx4j Then I clicked Next and let the checkmarks default to "Use default Workspace location" and clicked Finish. Then nothing at all happens except that the import wizard disappears. What am I doing wrong please? I have tried looking for tutorials about importing an existing open source maven project into Eclipse, but none of them seems to address the basic task of getting the existing sources into the local Eclipse workspace. I know I am missing something very basic, but I do not know what it is. Any help or RTFM pointers you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
