If you are NOT using Q4E or Codehaus then you probably create an External Application configuration for Eclipse. However, you could also use an ANT build file to execute Maven as well and execute it within the Ant view (see my other post in the archives with a sample).
1 - yes 2 - Just point Eclipse to the maven path 3 - Google around, I think I've see a generic run plugin, though again you could use native Eclipe, ant, or ant embedded in your maven stuff (execute java, etc.) -aps On 9/17/07, siegfried <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I've been google searching and reading the books on devzuz and > www.sonatype > <http://www.sonatype/> . > > > > However, I cannot figure out how to run maven goals from eclipse.
