M2Eclipse Plugin Installation

In eclipse, use the Help - Install New Software option and point to the following URL: http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases.

As the current Workbench is based on an old eclipse version, it is possible that you will receive errors while trying to install the plugin. If that is the case, please use your browser to locate the following information and install this from the zip file:

m2e - Maven Integration for Eclipse 1.3.1.20130219-1424

This is a known working version of the plugin.

M2Eclipse Plugin Configuration

In the preferences pane you need to locate the maven section. In this section you can choose to add a new external Maven Version. Add the one you configured in the previous step and make it your default.
