I'm new to Maven and use Eclipse Juno. I've installed Maven Integration for Eclipse. There are three options in File > New > Other > Maven:
1. Checkout Maven Projects from SCM
2. Maven Module
3. Maven Project
But I don't see Maven2 POM as described here. I've read that adding pom.xml is the first thing to do when using Maven.
I have an existing Dynamic Web Project so I'm not sure whether I need to create Maven Project just to use Maven.
How to use Maven with this existing project?
Further, when I try to add Maven Project and on step "Select an Archetype", then all shown archetypes have version "RELEASE". When I click Next on this step, Eclipse becomes Not Responding. It's used memory doesn't even increase.
You need to import the project as a Maven project. File -> Import -> Maven -> Import existing Maven project.
Via the Maven index, you can search for dependencies, select them and add them to your pom file. To download the index, select Windows > Preferences > Maven and enable the Download repository index updates on startup option. After changing this setting, restart Eclipse. This triggers the download of the Maven index.
Finally, with a modern version of Eclipse, just do "Import > Maven > Existing project into workspace..." and select your pom. xml. M2e will automatically manage your dependencies and download them as required. It also supports Maven builds through a new "Run as Maven build..." interface.
Take a look here :
In last version of eclipse (Juno included), there is a more convinient wizard :
Configure > Convert to maven project
You need to import the project as a Maven project.
File -> Import -> Maven -> Import existing Maven project.
