Maven Integration (M2E)

Mission statement

The goal of the m2eclipse project is to provide a first-class  Maven support in the Eclipse IDE, making it easier to edit Maven's pom.xml, run a build from the IDE and much more. For Java developers, the very tight integration with JDT greatly simplifies the consumption of Java artifacts either being hosted on open source repositories such as  Maven Central, or in your in-house Maven repository.

m2eclipse is also a platform that let others provide better integration with additional Maven plugins (e.g. Android, web development, etc.), and facilitates the distribution of those extensions through the m2e marketplace.

 

Getting started

m2e works with Eclipse 3.6 (Helios) and 3.7 (Indigo).

The following p2 repositories are available:

• Nightly builds are available at: http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/updates/N
