I suggest you use Maven in Eclipse. Make sure you have m2e (the Maven integration for Eclipse) installed. Remove the checked-out projects from OpenNLP from your workspace (do not tick the "delete from disk"). Use Import -> Existing Maven Projects and point it to the place where you checked out OpenNLP to. This should reimport the projects, this time as proper Maven projects.
When you create your own hello-world project, also create it as a Maven project and add the opennlp projects you required as dependencies in the Maven POM editor. With m2e, there should be no need to run Maven on the command line at all. Recent version of Eclipse (e.g. 4.3.x) may already come with m2e preinstalled.
