how to run the command mvn eclipse:eclipse
eclipse, maven
Solution
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`.
Problem
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.
