Checkout Maven project from SCM - no connectors

Solution 1:

Affan was correct. The connectors are all still there in Indigo, just hidden a little.

1. Start Eclipse and open preferences.
2. Find the Maven group and expand it.
3. Select the "Discovery" item and click "Open Catalog".
4. A dialog will pop up with all the goodies. The connectors are at the bottom.

Solution 2:

I ran into this issue with Eclipse where when you would try to Import a project via:

"Check out Maven Projects from SCM" from the project expoler the "scm url" drop down box would be empty.

After googling around, you must have subclipse installed from the Eclipse Marketplace (which I did) AND "Maven SCM handler for Subclipse" from the "Help->Install new software" dialog box (which I did not).

How to get Maven SCM Handler for Subclipse:

Assumption: You have Subclipse installed.

1. Click Help->Install New Software
2. Click "Add..." to add a new software site.
3. Add this site: http://subclipse.tigris.org/m2eclipse/1.0 (Alternative URL: http://subclipse.tigris.org/m2eclipse/latest/)
4. Select the Maven SCM handler for Subclipse
5. Install

You can now use the Project Explorer context menu of "Import -> Maven -> Check out Maven Projects from SCM" and actually have a SCM URL to choose from in the drop down box, namely "svn".
