You can take a look at the maven eclipse plugin for a start. (http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/eclipse/goals.html)
In partciular, the goal "eclipse:add-maven-repo" should be able to help you out to make the dependencies visible in eclipse. Cheers, AK -----Original Message----- From: Siegfried Heintze [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 13 October 2005 8:53 AM To: 'Maven Users List' Subject: Wanted: Help getting first Eclipse/Maven program running I'm running Windows 2003 server with Eclipse 3.1 and Java 1.5 and maven 1.0.2. I'm trying to make my first program using maven work with source code at http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/tutorial.html execute in eclipse. Is it necessary to manually add the external jar files in eclipse? This seems really tedious. I know eclipse 3.1 is smart enough to read the ant build.xml files to determine the dependences. The program runs fine when I manually compile it from the command prompt using java and javac. I did "maven ant" and this generated a nice build.xml file. I was hoping this would inform eclipse about the build path but no luck. The compile targets seemed weird to me. They were largly empty except for making directories. I suspect I need to write some jelly scripts to compile and run this simple program. Can someone point me to a simple tutorial on how to do this? I'm really disappointed that "Maven, A developer's notebook" from O'Reilly does not explain this better! If it does, maybe someone could give me a page number.
