Be sure not to confuse the maven eclipse plugin with the eclipse maven plugin.
---------------- The former is a plugin for maven 2 that allows "mvn eclipse:eclipse" to create .classpath and .project as Man-Chi explained. --------------- The latter is a plugin for eclipse that supports maven. It adds a bunch of features to eclipse to do things like: * create appropriate classpath entries any time you edit the POM for a project. * let you search the repository for particular jars (there are some issues with this feature as relates to the local repository) * do external builds with Maven (I haven't gotten this to work) * fix up source folder settings in eclipse --------------- Notes for Roland: M2_REPO is an eclipse variable that ties into the entries the maven eclipse plugin puts in the .classpath for an eclipse project The preference setting for local repository is, I think, supposed to point to the "<local user directory>/.m2/repository" folder. (In windows thats something like "c:\Documents and Settings\<userid>\.m2\repository".) I haven't been able to get the M2 external build to work. I don't get the same error you do. But it works fine to add a plain external build that runs mvn.bat (in the windows case) when starting in the folder containing the POM.xml you want to build. The arguments would be things like "install" or "-e site" or whatever. -- Lee On 1/5/06, Man-Chi Leung <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > eclipse plugin is already come with m2 by default > > the following command will create .classpath and .project files for > eclipse. > $mvn eclipse:eclipse > > u also need to add your .m2/repository parameter to eclipse as the > following: > $mvn -Declipse.workspace=<YOUR_ECLIPSE_WORKSPACE_DIR> eclipse:add- > maven-repo > > from eclipse u may run as external tools: check out this instructions > http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-ide-eclipse.html > > in fact, I perfer to run via CLI , that is faster > > ~manchi > > On Jan 5, 2006, at 9:53 PM, Roland Oertig wrote: > > > Hi > > > > I downloaded and use the maven-plugin offered on the Appache > > http://maven.apache.org/eclipse-plugin.html . > > > > After having spent hours "googeling" around, to try to find some > > documents > > or hints how to use the m2 plugin in eclipse with run--> external > > tools --> > > m2 build in the popup window "Create, manage and run > > configurations", I have > > to give up and hope that one of you guys can help me. > > > > > > > > In the eclipse Windows --> Preferences --> Maven2 I set the local > > Repository > > folder to C:\maven-2.0.1 > > > > and to Java --> Classpath Variables I added M2_REPO and MAVEN_REPO > > (just to > > be sure) to point to my local repository (e.g. E:\maven > > \localrepository) > > > > > > > > Next I try to start a maven goal through the run --> external tools: > > > > I entered the base directory (e.g. E:/myApp) and goal (e.g. > > install) in the > > requested fields. > > > > > > > > It return immediately with an information in the border of the > > console view > > window, like: > > > > <terminated>myApp[m2 build} > > C:\Program\Java\jre1.5.0\bin\javaw.exe(05.01.20006 14:20:34) > > > > > > > > I tried to also write the output to a logfile but nothing gets written > > there, but the file gets created.
