• In Eclipse go to “Help / Install new Software..” menu.
• Add a new Software Site by clicking to “Add..”
  • Name: Maven Integration for Eclipse
  • Location: http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases/
• Select this new Software Site in the “Work With” drop-down box.
• Install the last version (1.2.0.\*) of the m2e software: *Maven Integration for Eclipse* and *slf4j over logback logging*.

Checking out or updating the Bee project from SVN into Eclipse (*svn.code.sf.net/p/screeningbee/code/trunk/bee*), should be enough to have an Eclipse “Maven-aware” project, since the *.project* and *.classpath* Eclipse configuration files have also been committed to the SVN.

• Add the M2_REPO classpath variable by going to “Window / Preferences / Java / Build Path / Classpath Variables”:

e.g.: M2_REPO = /home/pujadas/.m2/repository

• Run Maven commands by selecting the *pom.xml* file, right-clicking on the mouse and:
  • Select *Run As*. That will make the different Maven commands available.
  • Select *Maven*. This menu can also be reached by selecting the project.

It should not be necessary to have Maven installed to run the Maven Eclipse Plugin.
