编译pom文件以使用Eclipse下载依赖项

Question

I download a j2ee project with a pom file which mention the dependency jar files needed. I want to know to run this pom file and download the jars need for my project? I right click and ran the pom file as maven build. Then it prompt me the Edit and Configuration UI which has the goals and profiles.

What are the values that i need to specify here?

Also is there any special configuration i need to add to eclipse (helios)?

How does the necessary jar files downloaded? Is it from the xsi:schemaLocation location specify in the pom file?

Answer 1

You can use these maven goals for that.

eclipse:eclipse - Download the dependency jars and set them to the classpath(you need to configure your settings.xml in the maven with the maven archiva repo path for maven to download jars from there)

install - build the project and install it in the local repo.

Have a look at this answer for the whole list of goals.

Answer 2

如果安装了Maven至Eclipse集成插件（m2e），则Eclipse会自动将项目依赖项添加到项目的构建路径中，并在此过程中下载它们。
