Generating an Eclipse Project
I'll bet that you want to start working in an IDE. Maven comes with plug-ins for Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, JBuilder, JDeveloper, and Emacs. While Maven integrates well with all of these tools, this lab focuses on its integration with Eclipse, a popular open source IDE.
How do I do that?
The process is simple; just execute the eclipse plug-in:
C:\dev\mavenbook\code\genapp\test-application> maven eclipse
build:start:
eclipse:generate-project:
[echo] Creating C:\dev\mavenbook\code\genapp\test-application/.project ...
eclipse:generate-classpath:
[echo] Creating C:\dev\mavenbook\code\genapp\test-application/.classpath ...
[echo] Contains JUnit tests
[echo] Setting compile of src/test to target/test-classes
Plugin 'cactus-maven' in project 'Test Application' is not available
[echo] Setting default output directory to target/classes
eclipse:
[echo] Now refresh your project in Eclipse (right click on the project and select
"Refresh")

Select Existing Project into Workspace and click the Next button.
Select the C:\dev\mavenbook\code\genapp\test-application directory in the Import dialog, and click the Finish button.
You will then need to perform one more step to point Eclipse at the local Maven repository. ...
