Maven – How to import Maven Project into Eclipse

 
 

In the previous tutorial, we have seen how we can create a Java project from Command Line. In this tutorial, will see how we can import this project in Eclipse.

  1. We need to make sure if Eclipse Maven Integration(m2e) is present . Latest Eclipse IDE has bundled the m2e plugin.

2. If you are using older version of Eclipse. Then below are the steps to follow

2.1 Open Eclipse IDE and select Help ->Install New Software

2.2 Click on Add button to add a new Repository

2.3 Fill the below mentioned information in the dialog box:-

Name – M2Eclipse

Location – http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases

2.4. After the Pending finish, select all the Plugins and press Next.

2.5. Accept the terms of the license agreement and click Finish

2.6. At the end of the installation, you will be ask to restart your Eclipse. Click Yes to perform the restart.

2.7 To check if the installation is successful, go to Help ->About Eclipse

3. In Eclipse IDE, select File ->Import ->Maven ->Existing Maven Project. 

4. The m2e plugin will analyze the pom.xml and will configure the project and generate the Eclipse files automatically.

5. Below is the code of App.java. Run this code

package com.Selenium;
 
/**
 * Hello world!
 *
 */
public class App 
{
    public static void main( String[] args )
    {
        System.out.println( "Hello World!" );
    }
}

6. Below is the code of AppTest.java. Run this code

package com.Selenium;
 
import static org.junit.Assert.assertTrue;
import org.junit.Test;
 
/**
 * Unit test for simple App.
 */
public class AppTest 
{
    /**
     * Rigorous Test 🙂
     */
    @Test
    public void shouldAnswerWithTrue()
    {
        assertTrue( true );
    }
}

Note:- Apache Maven Eclipse Plugins like eclipse:eclipse, eclipse:clean, etc are retired. To know more about it, please refer the link
