Maven2 Eclipse Plugin

Question

I have just added dependencies to a project so that my jar, specifically pdfbox 1.6, can see other jars. After adding my dependencies with the right click onto project feature that maven offers how can I be sure that the dependencies work, and that what I've done is correct? I view a pom.xml file that has been created so what are the target folder and classes,test-classes subfolders used for? Thanks

Answer 1

you can build your project and see if the dependencies are in the final artifact. Also eclipse can show you the dependencies under maven dependencies, see the screenshot :
