I'm trying to check out a project from our SVN repo that is a subfolder of a multi-module project. A .project file wasn't stored in SVN, so when I checked it out, it created a new .project file that is almost empty.
I need to figure out what correct steps I need to follow to get Eclipse to know it's a Maven project with Java source. I first tried the obvious, doing "Convert to Maven project". That changes the .project file to use the Maven2 builder and nature. It still doesn't know I have Java source files, however. I then tried making it a "faceted" project, which allowed me to add the Java facet, which added the reference to the existing src/main/java and src/test/java trees. At this point, I still had numerous high-level compilation errors. Although it was now convinced it was a java project, it now apparently didn't know of its maven dependencies. It didn't even seem like I could edit the Build Path to add "Maven Dependencies". I couldn't figure out what "normal" step would work here. I finally just opened up the .classpath file and manually added the incantation that I copied from an existing Maven project to define the "org.eclipse.m2e.MAVEN2_CLASSPATH_CONTAINER" entry. That made all the redness go away. Is it supposed to be this hard? _______________________________________________ m2e-users mailing list m2e-users@eclipse.org https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/m2e-users
