how to run the command mvn eclipse:eclipse
I'm following these instructions, but having problems with running commands like mvn eclipse:eclipse
.
How and where shall I run the command?
My setup:
- Windows 7 32bit
- Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers.
- Version: Juno Service Release 2
- Build id: 20130225-0426
- m2e - maven integration for eclipse v 1.3.0
I installed the m2e via the plugin installation in Eclipse.
Solution 1:
Right click on the project
->Run As
--> Run configurations
.
Then select Maven Build
Then click new button to create a configuration of the selected type. Click on Browse workspace
(now is Workspace...
) then select your project and in goals specify eclipse:eclipse
Solution 2:
The m2e plugin uses it's own distribution of Maven, packaged with the plugin.
In order to use Maven from command line, you need to have it installed as a standalone application. Here is an instruction explaining how to do it in Windows
Once Maven is properly installed (i.e. be sure that MAVEN_HOME
, JAVA_HOME
and PATH
variables are set correctly): you must run mvn eclipse:eclipse
from the directory containing the pom.xml
.
