SpeADL MAY Maven Eclipse SetUp¶

Install the Maven Eclipse Plugin¶

The Maven Eclipse Plugin, also named M2E, is available as part of the normal Eclipse distribution but must be explicitly installed.

Go to Help / Install New Software... and select the All available site in the drop-down list (it may take some time to load).

Expand the Collaboration category and select m2e - Maven Integration for Eclipse.

Click Finish.

Convert an Existing Project to Maven¶

The first step is to convert your project into a Maven project.
To do this, right click on your project and on Configure / Convert to Maven Project.

You will be asked to create a new POM file. Just click Finish after editing the package, name and version.

Alternatively, you can directly create a Maven project, this is out of scope of this document.

Edit the POM File¶
