This folder contains your local Maven repository which is stored in ~/. m2/repository by default. It also contains a repository that represents the Maven projects contained in your Eclipse workspace.
The Local Repository Maven's local repository is a directory on the local machine that stores all the project artifacts. When we execute a Maven build, Maven automatically downloads all the dependency jars into the local repository. Usually, this directory is named . m2.
jar file. Use the -verbose:class option to find class-level dependencies or use the -v or -verbose option to include dependencies from the same JAR file. Use the -R or -recursive option to analyze the transitive dependencies of the com.
I am sure m2eclipse Maven plugin for Eclipse - the other way around - can do that. You can configure it to download both the source files and javadoc automatically for you.
This is achieved by going into Window > Preferences > Maven and checking the "Download Artifact Sources" and "Download Artifact JavaDoc" options.
mvn eclipse:eclipse -DdownloadSources=true
or
mvn eclipse:eclipse -DdownloadJavadocs=true
or you can add both flags, as Spencer K points out.
Additionally, the =true portion is not required, so you can use
mvn eclipse:eclipse -DdownloadSources -DdownloadJavadocs
The other answers on this work, but if you want to avoid having to remember command line arguments, you can also just add to the downloadSources and downloadJavadocs config to the maven-eclipse-plugin section of your pom.xml:
<project>
...
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-eclipse-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<downloadSources>true</downloadSources>
<downloadJavadocs>true</downloadJavadocs>
... other stuff ...
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
...
</project>
I prefer not to put source/Javadoc download settings into the project pom.xml file as I feel these are user preferences, not project properties. Instead, I place them in a profile in my settings.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0"
