How to add "Maven Managed Dependencies" library in build path eclipse?

I have created a Maven project and I want to add all Maven dependencies in build path of the project in Eclipse. When I go to Java Build Path > Add Library > Maven Managed Dependency > Next in property dialog of the project, it asks me to Use "Maven Project Setting" to configure Maven dependency resolution.

My question is how to add maven dependencies in current build path?

Solution 1:

from the command line type:

mvn eclipse:eclipse

this will add all the dependencies you have in your pom.xml into eclipse...

however, if you haven't done any of this before you may need to do one other, one time only step.

Close eclipse, then run the following command from the shell:

mvn -Declipse.workspace=<eclipse workspace> eclipse:add-maven-repo

sample:

mvn -Declipse.workspace=/home/ft/workspaces/wksp1/ eclipse:add-maven-repo

Solution 2:

If you have m2e installed and the project already is a maven project but the maven dependencies are still missing, the easiest way that worked for me was

• right click the project,
• Maven,
• Update Project...
