(Edit 2016-10-12: Many Eclipse downloads from https://eclipse.org/downloads/eclipse-packages/ have M2Eclipse included already. As of Neon both the Java and the Java EE packages do - look for "Maven support")
Way 1: Maven Eclipse plugin installation step by step:
- Open Eclipse IDE
- Click Help -> Install New Software...
- Click Add button at top right corner
At pop up: fill up Name as "M2Eclipse" and Location as "http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases" or http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/milestones/1.0
Now click OK
After that installation would be started.
Way 2: Another way to install Maven plug-in for Eclipse by "Eclipse Marketplace":
- Open Eclipse
- Go to Help -> Eclipse Marketplace
- Search by Maven
- Click "Install" button at "Maven Integration for Eclipse" section
- Follow the instruction step by step
After successful installation do the followings in Eclipse:
- Go to Window --> Preferences
- Observe, Maven is enlisted at left panel
Finally,
- Click on an existing project
- Select Configure -> Convert to Maven Project
I have tired these steps but not install, I got some error which detail below......Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found. Software being installed: m2e - Maven Integration for Eclipse (includes Incubating components) 1.5.0.20140606-0033 (org.eclipse.m2e.feature.feature.group 1.5.0.20140606-0033)
@Krunal Patel: have you tried from Marketplace?
I have the same Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found. Software being installed: m2e - slf4j over logback logging (Optional) 1.5.0.20140606-0033 (org.eclipse.m2e.logback.feature.feature.group 1.5.0.20140606-0033) - didn't see the marketplace option under help.
Eclipse juno doesnt support maven 1.5..still they have not added capability of 1.5 so try 1.4 or 1.3 download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases/1.3 download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases/1.4
Thanks for such a great description but I am not able to install maven either way. Error saying that "Cannot satisfy dependency:" and "annot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.". I am not sure what's the issue. Please help.
