Resolve Maven dependencies and plugins via GUI

Question

Is there any plugin to resolve the dependencies and plugins via GUI with auto completion?

Like the eclipse marketplace .. Search Maven repository with tomcat .. it will list the related plugins and dependencies and click what you want to install into your POM.

Answer 1

The m2e plugin (which is included in Eclipse since at least Kepler; for other versions go to the Eclipse Marketplace) contains a dialog. When you enable the Maven nature for a project, then you should get context menus which read "Add Dependency". You can enter part of a name in a dialog and when you click OK, it will add the dependency to the POM.

When indexing is enabled, you can also use Ctrl+Space in the POM to get code completion inside of <dependency> elements.
