How do you build an Eclipse plugin with Maven? What dependencies or plugins do I need? I am looking to develop for Eclipse 3.7.

The Maven Eclipse Plugin is used to generate Eclipse IDE files (*. classpath, *. project, *. wtpmodules and the . settings folder) for use with a project.
You can use Maven 3.3 (at least) and Maven Tycho 0.24.0. Add this to your project's .mvn/extensions.xml:
<extensions> <extension> <groupId>org.eclipse.tycho.extras</groupId> <artifactId>tycho-pomless</artifactId> <version>0.26.0</version> </extension> </extensions> Then you must define your pom.xml according to the structure of your project. I recommend this article: Eclipse Tycho for building Eclipse Plug-ins, OSGi bundles and RCP applications - Tutorial
You can follow the example on this page to have a general idea of using maven plugin Tycho.
