Thanks for the input Jesse. I hope to create a really good Tapestry centered Maven FAQ of this stuff, so the maven related queries can go there for answers.
On one attempt at using maven through eclipse, it was complaining about not finding lib\tools.jar . I was sure the JDK was chosen for the installed JREs. It turned out that the vm used by eclipse was some other plan JRE (not a jdk). So I had to specify this in the eclipse.ini and in my shortcuts to eclipse: -vm C:\Java\jdk1.5.0_06\bin\java.exe So my full eclipse shortcut looked like: C:\eclipse\WTP1.5.3\eclipse\eclipse.exe -vm C:\Java\jdk1.5.0_06\bin\java.exe -vmargs -Xverify:none -Xms90m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=90m -XX:MaxNewSize=40m Some notes on the older post by Borut, which is here: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/maven-users/200608.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] In step 5, of the steps above, src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/lib did not exist. Create webapp/WEB-INF/lib under src/main/ After selecting the tapestry library in the Add Dependency section of the maven plugin in Eclipse, I got a notice like this in the Console window: 5/11/07 2:04:57 PM EDT: [INFO] NOTE: Maven is executing in offline mode. Any artifacts not already in your local repository will be inaccessible. So I made sure the POM was saved and manually did a "mvn install" from the project's directory. This downloaded the dependencies with no problem. Not sure why it wouldn't download within eclipse, as you would expect. In my case, I am using Eclipse 3.2.2 (WTP1.5.3) and Java 5 (1.5) For some reason I was getting this error: "Java compiler level does not match the version of the installed Java project facet." The project settings were being set to Java 1.4 compliance, and would not stay at Java 5 compliance. So I added this to my POM: <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.0</version> <configuration> <source>1.5</source> <target>1.5</target> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build> After doing Maven2->Update Source Folders, that problem went away.
